Hello,
 my name is Guy Malfait, and I have a small problem.
Is it possible to leave a copy of read messages on the server, so 
I can read them again whem I'm at another computer, using a dial-in?
I'd be grateful if you could give an answer.

Friendly greetings,
 
Guy

That's not a pine problem, but rather a problem of the mail transport
agent you're using. Talk to your local helpdesk to customize it for
you in a way that does not kill the messages on the server.

Cheers,
Robin

I don't know whether it is possible to leave a 'copy' of new messages
in the INBOX but, afaik, you can flag the message as new before
leaving pine and keep them in your INBOX.

If you have more than one message, ie a lot :-), which you want to
leave use the aggregate command (;) to select all interesting
files. If it's not already set -> m(ain) -> s(etup) -> c(onfig)

hth, norbert.

If you are also using PC-Pine (or another IMAP email client) on the
computer you are using with a dial-in connection, and your messages are
stored on an IMAP server, the answer is "yes."  (IMAP = Internet Message
Access Protocol.) 

The IMAP folder and folder collection definition syntax for (PC-)Pine is
explained in the context-sensitive help for the "folder-collections"
option in (PC-)Pine's (3.9x) SETUP CONFIGURATION screen, and at
http://www.washington.edu/pine/user-guide/info/imap.syntax.html

When using (PC-)Pine, you can even store your postponed messages on the
IMAP server and thus resume their composition from any computer on which
you are using (PC-)Pine -- with a definition in the SETUP CONFIGURATION
screen of each copy of (PC-)Pine you are using that looks something like:

	postponed-folder = {yourimaphost.yourdomain}mail/postponed-msgs

(By default, the postponed-folder definitions in Pine and PC-Pine are not
the same; and in PC-Pine, the default location of that folder is on the
same computer on which you are running PC-Pine.) 

If you need help with finding out what the name of the IMAP server on
which your mail is stored is, or how to manage your folders on it, contact
the computing support folks of the organization (such as K.U. Leuven) that
provides you with Internet email.
