Subject: Problem with saved-message folders and pine locks

From: [email-masked] (Bill Mahoney)

The mail server is running HPUX9.05.  The client is running
  HPUX10.10.  The client is using imap to access mail on the server.
  This works fine.  However, when I try to save a message to a folder,
  pine hangs.  The client's saved-message folders are NFS-mounted and
  located on the mail server.  Any ideas on this?

  Thanks for any and all help,

Why not configure Pine to use IMAP for the secondary folders too?
It's more efficient and avoids the NFS locking problems.

Didn't know I could do that.  Thanks a lot!  A number of questions
come to mind:

   -- do I specify a complete path? or just a path relative to
      home directories?
   -- with this make the folder-tree recursively accessibel
      thru imap? 

Is there a document that I can read?  I've been thru the tech-notes,
the FAQ, the man pages ... nothing there.

Thanks again for your help.

In the absence of a leading slash, home-dir relative is assumed.

At the moment, you have to define a separate folder collection for
each directory or subdirectory with folders in it.  Pine 4.0 will
support folder hierarchies more flexibly.

Only the help for the Folder-collections variable in Setup/Config

Here's a sample from my .pinerc:

folder-collections=MAIN {shivams.cac.washington.edu/user=gray}MAIL/[*],
                           Pine {shivams.cac.washington.edu}PINE/[*]

HTH.
