Subject: folder w/in folders

is it possible to set up folders within folders?

I have a number of groupings of saved documents (different subjects) each
with abut 3o folders in them.

It would be more efficient I think, when saving mails, S, if I can Ctrl T
first to the "subject" folder, and then to the individual folder to get
the right folder for saving in.

The individual folders change quite frequently.  I can't remember all the
folder names

Using v 3.93

Using present Pine/IMAP technology it is not possible to set up truly
hierarchical folders (folders within folders within folders ...).

However you will probably find that Pine's concept of "collections" of
folders adequate for your needs.

A collection is a group of related folders.  For example I have a
collection about "Software", one for "People", and one for "Information"
in addition to my default "Mail" collection.

These show up as "main-level" items in the Folder List screen which can be
quickly Arrow-ed between.  Once on the collection of interest you press
Return to "expand" it and see the names of the folders within it.

When saving messages to a folder, or switching between them, you can use
^N and ^P to move between collections, before tpying in the folder name
(or using ^T to list the folders in the collection).

You set up collections of folders in Pine's Setup Configuration screen.

Please see the built-in help there and elsewhere (eg, probably on the
Folder List screen) for further details.

Cheers,

No, not that I'm aware of.
