Subject: Pine and IMAP

Hello:

I have decided to use Pine as my character interface MUA on a server running
IMAP. Mostly the installation works, but there are a few problems I am
struggling to resolve.

(I am using /var/spool/mail for incoming mail, the UW imapd, and qmail.)

1) By default, the Pine INBOX is read-only.
2) If I change the inbox-path variable to {localhost}inbox so that the Pine
inbox is *not* read-only, the rsh login attempt times out, after which Pine
asks me for the account password. Then and only then can I access the Inbox.
This is a pain. I'd like to have it automatically log-in.
3) Having done this, Pine now puts a sent-mail folder in /var/spool/mail,
something I don't want.

There has to be a better way to configure Pine for IMAP. Can anyone give me
any suggestions?

Finally, there is another issue -- how can I set the "user" so that my
reply-to address reflects my e-mail aliases instead of my login id?

Much thanks,

Stephen Bosch

In your .pinerc set rsh-open-timeout=0

Redefine your default-fcc as 

default-fcc=sent-mail

Also check out
http://www.uvm.edu/~ashawley/pine/faq/sysadmins.html#save_password if
you're having trouble with extra password prompts - it's an updated
version of the FAQ and has a new section on passwordless SSH
authentication, but a lot of the links don't work, because they're
supposed to point to www.washington.edu.
