Subject: Problems setting up imap

I am trying to connect to an IMAP server at my ISP.

Having never done this before, I looked around for a "How To" and didn't find much.

Using 4.02, I went to the Incoming Message Folders screen, Added the Server  
name and the Path on the Server.

The result was a

	BUSY </>

that has spun for minutes and minutes and cannot be Cancelled (even though  
^C appears on the bottom menu for Cancel)

I would simply like to be able to read messages on the server, and (if  
possible) have access to my entire ~/mail directory on that server.

Is what I tried correct?  If not, can someone point me to a FM to R?

Go to Mainmenu||Setup||Config and specify the value of inbox-path
as {mailbox-host}INBOX.  The braces are
important and must remain.  Replace mailbox-host with the fully-qualified
domain name (FQDN) or your ISP's mail host.  So, you're definition looks
like:

	{mail.peak.org}inbox

This info is available in the context help for inbox-path on the config
screen and in the Valid Folder Names hyperlink off that help page.
