Hi!

I'm just a every now and then pine user having one problem.
For some reason the logon check claims that i have unread 
mails even if i don't have any. 

How can i make it check the mailbox?

type:

	ls /var/spool/mail/<yourname>

*if* that's where your mailfolder is. If it isn't, try typing:

	mail

(which can be left by typing "q" >;->).
Maybe some filtering program is running of which pine hasn't been "made
aware" (i.e. whose folders it cannot find at the moment).

Cheers,
Robin
