Try hitting 'n' or 'TAB'.

Just to be sure: Are you accessing mail with IMAP or POP3?

Cheers,
Jan

I'm told that at least some VMS-based IMAP servers do not do new mail
checking/notification.

In other words, I don't think this is a problem with Pine.

Hello all. I have been access to INBOX whith POP3 in this way:

inbox-path              = {bosque.sdi.uam.es/pop3/user=aliciaa}INBOX

Ahh, that explains it. Take a look at the Pine FAQ, specifically topic
3.17. An excerpt from the FAQ: Pine will start a POP3 session and keep it
open until the mailbox is closed. Due to the nature of the POP3 protocol,
Pine will not see any new mail which arrives during the POP3 session. 

I believe that answers your question.

Cheers,
Jan
