Subject: Will Pine remember my IMAP password?

Is there any way to configure UNIX Pine to remember my IMAP password so
that I don't have to type it in each time I start-up Pine?

Steve,

This isn't a matter of pine "remembering".  

In order to get around your problem, your system administrator (you?) has to 
put you in a "trusted user" file on the system such as "/etc/hosts.equiv".
The users listed in that file are not required to type in their password
everytime they start pine.

(BTW, hosts.equiv is what we use on the AIX flavor of Unix, I'm sure about
the exact name on other Unix systems).

I hope that puts you in the right direction.

Sounds like you're using "rimap" to retreive mail with IMAP, rather
than accessing the IMAP server directly.  When using "rimap", Pine
will attempt to connect to your account on the server using rsh, then
invoke rimap from there.  If the r-services are set-up and your account
information is valid on the server end, the method you describe will
work; unfortunately, our environment isn't secure enough to allow use
of the r-services, so that's not an option.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
