Subject: How to download e-mail?

My provider uses PINE 3.96 for my shell account. I have been unable to
find out how to download an e-mail message from the INBOX to my own
hard disk although the E)xport feature is supposed to offer this
option. Any help?

Export will save the mail message into a file that your provider's
Unix box... After that happens, you need to bring up FTP on your
Mac or PC and log into that Unix box and ftp it down to your local
Mac or PC box...

Good luck,

No, export will save the file to your home directory (or other
preconfigured directory, I guess) on the box on which you're running PINE.
Then you can use xmodem or zmodem or whatever you prefer to download the
file from your shell account to your own computer.

I am also using Pine ver 3.96 with Windows 95. To download a message to the
harddisk I tell Pine which drive and subdirectory to export the message to.
It works without any problems. Maybe it has to do with your configuration
file? 
What I have not been able to find out is how to export several messages at
the same time. The export commands expects you to give your message a file
name.
BTW: Are you using Pine with Dialog Boxes? (Config menu).
