Subject: save password

i'm running pine 3.95 under linux and am wondering as to whether or not
mailbox passwords may be saved in some way or not.  i am accessing
mailboxes on a unix server via imap and am quite tired of entering my
password each time.

thanks in advance for any info.  direct email would be the most useful as
i don't read this group often.

I'm running Pine 3.95 under Linux also and rather than using IMAP or POP3
within Pine to read my mail, I use fetchmail to 'fetch' the mail from my
ISP's Linux mail server, then save it to /usr/spool/mail/username.  Then I
run procmail to split it up into folders (each mailing list into it's own
folder).

Check http://nll.home.ml.org/software.html and look for the link to
fetchmail's author's home page.  ...or I think you can get it at
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Mail.
