Hi,

I can't find a way to specify a remote folder (accessed through IMAP) so
that it will appear in the "Folder List" window. Is such a thing possible
?

Jean,

For information on specifying an IMAP folder or folder collection in Pine,
see: http://www.washington.edu/pine/user-guide/info/imap.syntax.html

For a single folder, you can add it to your list of "incoming folders"  --
to create that folder list, which then also (and initially only) will
include your INBOX, you need to first check the "enable-incoming-folders" 
feature in the SETUP CONFIGURATION screen; read the context-sensitive help
screen for that feature while you're there.  You could also just type the
IMAP single-folder definition at the "GOTO folder..." prompt (if you have
no need to access a certain remote folder frequently), for example:

	*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/96-12-11

to look at yesterday's postings to the Net-Happenings mailing list (thanks
to Nancy McGough (posting to Pine-Info on 6 Jul 1996) for discovering that
resource). 

For *multiple folders stored in the same directory* on an IMAP server,
you'd need to set up a new folder collection, in SETUP CONFIGURATION.  For
example, to set up a folder collection to access the entire archives of the
Pine-Info discussion forum, the IMAP syntax for that folder collection in
Pine is: 

	*{ftp.cac.washington.edu/anonymous}pine/pine-info/[] 

That way, you could then search the Pine-Info message archives
month-by-month -- say, if you remember seeing something of interest posted
in November or October -- in contrast to the search across all months back
to Jan. 1995 you can perform via the Web page at
http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/

Hi Stefan,

Thank you very much ! Now I got it.

Some suggestions ?
1. In the context-sensitive help for "eneable-incoming-folders", it could
be told that for the server the following syntax is correct:
	ucmb.ulb.ac.be/usr=a_user
2. In the same help, the folder can be INBOX or the full pathname of the
mailbox.
3. In  http://www.washington.edu/pine/user-guide/info/imap.syntax.html
be more explicit about the different places where IMAP addresses can be
used.

Once again, thank you for your help.

Jean
