Can someone help me with my problem ???

I'm using Pcpine in my microcomputer and mailhost is Sun-Soloaris server. 
Everything works fine except accessing .signature and .addressbook files in my 
home directory in Solaris. The files exist and their protection is:
  
-rwxr-xr-x   1 jukkav        609 Jan  2 13:08 .signature
-rwxr-xr-x   1 jukkav       1494 Feb 12 08:45 .addressbook

in pinerc-file are rows:

# Over-rides default path for signature file. Default is ~/.signature
signature-file=~/.signature

# List of file or path names for global/shared addressbook(s).
# Default: none
# Syntax: optnl-label path-name
global-address-book=~/.addressbook

# List of file or path names for personal addressbook(s).
# Default: ~/.addressbook (Unix) or \PINE\ADDRBOOK (PC)
# Syntax: optnl-label path-name
address-book=~/.addressbook

I can't get my signature file in mails and when I try to use my addressbook 
Pcpine says:

Personal AddressBook <~/.addressbook>                                              (Un-readable)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                     [ Permission Denied ]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global AddressBook <~/.addressbook>                                                (Un-readable)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                     [ Permission Denied ]

If someone cound tell me teh answer to this problem, I would be wery glad !

I understand that accessing to these two files is bossible.

Please mail me: [email-masked]

Jukka,

Sounds to me like you should be using the PC-Pine addressbook and signature
files, as you are using PC-Pine to compose your mail. The Solaris server is
only your relay host. Choose the PC-Pine filenames from your Pine setup
screen (\PINE\ADDRBOOK instead of ~/.addressbook, etc.)

Good luck
