good day!

am using pine 3.95 and is encountering this error message

"out of free storage" when trying to open INBOX, or 

"can't resize free storage" in accessing a folder say 'sent-mail',

where in fact i have a huge free space.

what seems to be the problem with my system?.. any idea on how to fix

this? 

thanks.

Sure -- your local help desk. Most likely your disk quota is
exceeded. Don't bother asking, just "man quota".

Cheers,

Hi -

"Out of free storage" etc messages are usually referring to being our of
available *RAM* storage.  That is, your system doesn't have enough
available _memory_ for Pine to be able to open the requested folder; it's
probably too big. (Or, if you are accessing the folder over an IMAP
connection, the problem is likely to be on the IMAP server system.) 

Cheers,
