i received a message from someone else in my company and decided to
save
it. i saved it as vac/leave time. this name would not take, and it is now
called vac/. however, i can not open or delete this folder. when i try to
open it i get "select failed: mail/vac/
(file/home/04e/04eclcac/mail/vac/)" what do i need to do to get rid of
this message?

Thank You, Candy Cyr

Hi, All, :)

Firstly: *Thank* *you* for PC-Pine 4.03!  I haven't gotten into the bevy
of new features yet, but I did discover the (perhaps) most important
one: it was truly a "drop in."  All I did is copy over the old PC-Pine
3.96 files, and *poof* - everything worked the first time!!  Yay!

However, I am noticing a weirdness. :/ In v3.96, the little pine tree
icon in the taskbar notification area would only be displayed if there
was new mail since you had last focused the Pine window (I *think* this
was the previous behavior).  So, after focusing the Pine window, the
icon went away.  This to me made sense - the icon was a signal that you
had "unseen" mail (not just unread) waiting in your inbox.

However, with v4.03, the pine tree icon seems to be *always* displayed,
even if I don't have any new mail at all in my inbox.  Has the meaning
of the taskbar notification area icon changed?  I hate to sound like a
demanding, ungrateful user, but I liked the previous behavior better. :)

Again, thanks, and keep up the excellent work!

P.S. - Was there not also an experimental feature in v3.94+ called
"enable-background-sending"?  I'm very interested in that feature - I'm
working through a firewall, and outbound SMTP connections seem bogged
terribly.  Background sending would save me a lot of time...

Candy,

Depending on the system you're running on, spaces in file names may be
a problem.  Try opening the folder with the name entered as "vac/leave\ time"
- the backslash will allow the embedded space.

Good luck.

Hi, All, :)

Thanks to Chris Szurgot <[email-masked]> for pointing out to me the
new behavior of the pine notification icon.  Naturally I noticed this
behavior myself a few seconds after sending my request. ;/  Still, The
new way seems logical, especially if you have *lots* and *lots* of icons
in your taskbar or if you're running lots of apps simultaneously (not
me, but hey, still cool).

However, I haven't heard any feedback yet concerning my P.S.:

> terribly.  Background sending would save me a lot of time...

Any news on this, Pine Developers? :D
