Correction. There is no program to download. The conversion
program runs directly from the web I believe.

This is what I did:

Go to http://www.interguru.com/mailconv.htm and download
the email address book converter.

Convert your email address book to a comma-separated format
file (.csv I believe). Then import that file with Outlook
Express.

Worked real well for me.

Subject: address book export

Due to a new computer system I need to export user's Pine address books into
Outlook Express.  Does anyone know how to do that easily and cleanly?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Is there any way to include the password in these entries so as to avoid
having to type them in when I want to access a remote mailbox?  For
example, take the following and tell me how/where to include a password:

{mail.myisp.com/pop3/user=myaccount}inbox

Thanks.

If this were possible it would be very unsecure, as the password would be
in plain text, for anyone to read, the syntax does not support this, what
you have to do instead is define a PASSFILE file in your os.h file and
create an empty file with the name you define in your PASSFILE variable in
the same directory where your .pinerc file is, rebuild,  and after you've
done that, pine will start asking you if you want to save your password in
the PASSFILE, and then you'll be able to access any incoming folder
without the need to enter your password. Entries in the PASSFILE are
encrypted, so that makes it a little bit safer.

Hi,

I just tried to read mail with pine and POP having
the inbox configured as {pop.server/pop3:110}inbox .

It checks for mail when I start pine but then pop connection stays until timeout
or until I quit pine. And checking for mail that has arrived in the meantime is
not possible. A restart of pine is necessary. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks,
Antje

Pine FAQ #

5.5 Why is it that I have to exit and reopen Pine in order to receive new
mail? 

http://www.washington.edu/pine/faq/usage.html#5.5

the only way around the behavior is using IMAP account, or using a MTA
(Mail Transfer Agent) like fetchmail (I think).

This is weird, cause I run pine and as I am reading I get notified of new
messages that come in.  The reason this works is cause I run pine on the
actual mail server, I am running pop3 and sendmail and sendmail is using
mail.local to deliver mail locally to people's inbox.  Is this working
because I run pine on the actually mail server?

At Fri, 15 Sep 2000 it looks like Aaron S. Hawley composed:

ASH-->Pine FAQ #

ASH-->5.5 Why is it that I have to exit and reopen Pine in order to receive new
ASH-->mail? 
ASH-->

...............I had a situation where I left my machine on all
night and didn't want to hear the BEEP when a message arrived and I
also use fetchmail. I ended up setting my "mail-check-interval" to
"0" (zero) and then I use ^L to pull my mail from my
inbox. Sometimes it tells me it's an invalid command but it always
works the second try. On occassion I have to restart fetchmail but
that's a fetchmail thing, not Pine.

Yes. The notification problem is only when you are accessing your mail
via POP. In this case, you may be reading a locally mounted mail spool
file.

In any case, as I recall (from about 5 years ago), I didn't have to
actually restart Pine. I just had to close my Inbox and come back to
it to get my new messages. I would usually do this by going to my
sent-mail folder, and then coming back to the Inbox. I haven't use POP
in those 5 years, so I don't know if this still works.

Gopi.

With Pine 4.21, Pine keeps the INBOX open until you quit the program.  So
what you describe will work if your POP mailbox is an Incoming Folder, but
not if it's defined as your primary INBOX.
