Subject: Help getting started

Would someone please give me a quick thumbnail list of the setup
procedures to get Pine going on our lan?  The lan is a token ring with a
mixture of WIN95 and WFW311 machines.  The mail server is linux.  The
server will eventually act as a proxy server to handle internet mail to
the outside world. The server has all the user names added, and has
actually passed email using Eudora.  I have gotten Pine installed on a
WIN95 machine and have attempted to compose a piece of email, but get an
error calling for a "remote folder."  What else do I need to add to the
server, and where?  Do I need to install 32bit Pine on the WIN95 and
16bit on the WFW311 machines?  Any other tips and thoughts would be
muchly appreciated.  In the mean time, I'll continue to rtfm.

Thank you.

Before you can use PC-Pine to send an e-mail it must have at least one
folder open on your mail server.  This is so that PC-Pine can include
information about the user (such as who the message _really_ came from:
the username used to authenticate to the mail server).

This implies that you must have the appropriate server software installed
on your mail server machine, and have PC-Pine configured to connect to it.
(You will need to do this if you want to read any messages stored in
folders on your server anyway!)

The mail protocol used by PC-Pine for reading messages from mail folders
on the server is called IMAP.  This means that you will need to set up and
configure IMAP server software on your mail server machine.  An IMAP
server is available for various platforms (along with the source code
should you need it) from the University of Washington on the same ftp
server as you (presumably!) got PC-Pine from:

	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/

Look in the "imap" directory.

Cheers,
