Subject: Re: pine 3.95 SERIOUS DISK ERROR

My girlfriend encountered the same disk error over on Netcom some time 
ago. It turned out that there was a file placed in her /mail directory 
which had a suffix of "lock". I have no idea how that strange file got 
there, but removing it solved the problem. It's been so long ago that I 
don't remember whether the file was called inbox.lock or some strange 
number followed by .lock. All I know is that  Netcom was acting really 
flakey that day and there was no apparent reason why those .lock files 
should be there, so I got rid of them. Problem solved. 
CHEERS!

The syntax is a bit more complicated than that:
{pop3.concentric.net/pop3/user=tlange}inbox
                    ^^^^^only if you don't have imap

I think you are going to be out of luck here. If I remember correctly,
PC-Pine does not support POP, and there was a posting to this effect a
while ago from the Washington gurus. I just tried here with PC-Pine, with
the correct syntax, and it doesn't work, even though I know that I can
access my mail using POP from my home computer.

Yours

 Hi,
 I have a really basic question. I use Unix pine all the time but got 
 curious about PC Pine and installed it today. I can't seem to get the 
 proper in-box path specified. In my pinerc file, I've specified that my 
 user id is tlange and my domain is concentric.net. The smtp server is 
 smtp.concentric.net. The NNTP server is news.concentric.net. I've tried 
 to set my inbox path to pop3.concentric.net and 
 pop3.concentric.net/tlange. Neither setting works. Oddly enough, I had an 
 easier time getting news folders set up. What am I doing wrong and what 
 do I need to set my in-box path to. Please post here and e-mail me at 
 [email-masked], which is where I get most of my e-mail for now until I 
 switch over completely to concentric.net. Thanks in advance. 
 CHEERS!
 Tom
