Subject: mail slirped into users home areas with imap

Has anyone ever heard of pine slirping mail into a user's mbox (with
3.96) when running with imap?  I have been running this way for
several months now and have had no problems but other users have.
Is there a flag in the .pinerc file or something in the code that
needs to be changed?  I would really appreciate any thoughts, since I
have yet to find any documentation on this problem but will keep
searching.

For starters, some sort of indication of what you're doing might be handy.
I use IMAP with pine, but no sort of "slirp" mode to get all the mail into
my inbox. I just read it from the remote folders, and save it, print it,
reply to it, scratch 'n' sniff it, or whatever, as if it were on the local
machine.

Ok, I actually found the answer to this.  By default the WU imapd
reads in (slirps) in a users mailbox into ~/mbox if there is a ~/mbox
present.  This is the default behaviour, you can change this not do
this by editing the makefile for imapd.  I thought that it was a Pine
problem but I was looking at the wrong thing.

Really. I think I can occasionally use such a feature. I'll have to look
into it. Thanks for the info.
