Subject: How to Export

Can anyone tell me how to export e-mail to my computer?  I have read
everything there is to read but I still don't know how to export or save
mail to my computer drive. When I hit "E", it asks for the name of the
folder. It doesn't matter what I type because when all is said and done,
the e-mail is not on my computer drive.  I have also gone into configure
setup, but if I'm supposed to change one of the settings, I don't know
which setting to change or how to change the setting.  If it matters, I
am on a unix host, using a Macintosh.  I would be eternally grateful if
someone can help me solve this problem because I've also asked the
sysadmin, our tech support, and anyone else I can think of.

I assume you are using a terminal emulator on your Mac, and 
you rlogin or telnet to the Unix host, then start Pine.  So
you are using UNIX pine.  And your problem is that you want
to put files on your Mac hard drive.  

The filename that you type in "Export" is a file name on the Unix machine.  
If your Mac is networked to the Unix machine, and your hard drive
is a mounted file system on the Unix machine, then there should be a Unix
path to your Mac hard drive.  You need to give a full path name
to your disk, and/or modify your pine folder path to point to your
Mac drive.

If your disk is not mounted on the Unix host, then you need to
download the file to your Mac.

With the Pine "export" command, pine gives you the option: 

  ^V Downld Msg

This will activate the "download-command" and "download-command-prefix"
from your pine setup.

I use "download-command=umodem -sb" since umodem/xmodem is all I have
available on both my terminal and unix host. When I do an export while using a
terminal emulator, I first type in pine "e" for export, then "^V" for
download, then activate my terminal emulator's "xmodem" download command.

Talk to your sysadmin about what kind of download programs you have available
on your unix and Mac systems.  

If your Mac is networked to your unix host (i.e. not dialup), but your disk
isn't mounted, then there are probably better download commands (maybe make a
unix script that uses FTP or rcp, and takes it input from the standard
input?).

Good luck.
