Subject: Pine for Win95

Hi.  I've been using pine on my Linux box for some time now, and want to
install it on my Win95 machine.  I have unzipped it, and followed the
installation instructions as far as I know, but keep getting 2 errors
which drive me nuts:

1.  Access error when trying to open mail folders.

2.  Can't "C"ompose mail; get error saying "Can't send message without
an open remote folder."

Ideas?

Thanks!

The first problem causes the second - you can't compose mail if you
haven't opened a remote folder.

Are you running imapd on your linux?  If not, see if you have imapd in
your /etc/hosts and /etc/inetd.conf commented out.  If you do,
uncomment it, and restart inetd.  If not, get imapd and install it,
either from your linux distribution or from wherever you got Pine.

If you are running imapd, are you specifying the remote mail folder as
{foo} where foo is the hostname of your linux?

Nod.
I had the same, and I managed it to remove them.
In pinerc you must fill in the remote INBOX path like:
{fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de}INBOX.
It seems that pine must!!! have an open remote connection versus tcp/ip
and IMPAD.
That´s the reason I deleted it from my w95, using Microsoft Mail an News
tool.
Second Problem is, that PC Pine for W95 does't manage to make pipes, so I
can't use pgp (my main reason to install pine on pc). On linux everything
is working fine.
Perhaps someone else knows how to set up pine for offline reading/mailing
and using pgp under w95.

That's all,
            Schlumpf.
