Subject: Can Pine "copy" remote mail to folders as opposed to "save"ing th em.

I am running Pine 4.03 on a Digital Unix 3.2c alpha sysetm.
I am connecting to an NT exchange using IMAP. What I want to
be able to do is copy the email from the remote server
to a local folder, that is not removeing it from the remote server.
Export saves to a file, and Save deletes it from the remote server.

As a second question, Some of our usernames are different from
the user names they use on the exchange server, how do I set
the user name to be used for IMAP purposes in the .pinerc file?
as well as the password, or is this to much of a security risk?

Lastly, is there any way to setup a rules file for remote mail.

What I want to do is setup a cron job to poll the exchange server
pull off any new mail and execute any rules....Can Pine do that?

Thanks

George,

> Export saves to a file, and Save deletes it from the remote server.

Of course it doesn't actually delete it...it simply marks it for deletion.
The actual destruction of the message comes at expunge time.

So, you have to options.

1.  Un-mark the deletion.

2.  Set "save-will-not-delete" in the config

> as well as the password, or is this to much of a security risk?

Let's see.... Try going this route to get to a "help" screen which may be
what your are seeking...

Go to s(etup), c(onfig).

Go to "inbox-path" and hit ?.

Go to the help on "Valid Folder Names".

Find the "Server:" help text.

(There may be a quicker way to get there....but it is late.

> pull off any new mail and execute any rules....Can Pine do that?

Not that I know about....
