I have just upgraded to pine 4.05. I am begining to wish I had not....
When I start Pine I get a message saying 
mailbox vunerable directory protection must be 1777. 

a mode of 1777 gives the world read/write/execute access. This make no
sense. 

I have a 2nd and 3rd account the 2nd one give me the same error, the third
does not... (figure that one out...) these two accounts are identical. I
have already check the protection and they are exactly the same....

look around the official pine site at the university of washington, and
learn for yourself.  it has to do with the access permissions of the
inbox.  of course you know this.  i guess 1777 has a 1 in it, or
sticky-bit thus people can create random files in your inbox, but that's
it.  or something.  i don't know.  all i know is you have found the answer
to your question, and there is nothign else anyone can do.  perhaps you
should seek resources that are more knowledgeable in the ways of the unix.
