Subject: [POP] password storage

Hello.

I am currently using PINE with a the incoming folders feature. Working
well with procmail :-). Great job.

However, I am trying to setup another folder which is an INBOX stored on
a remote POP server. No problem with the syntax :

{myisp.network.far/pop3/user=mylogin}INBOX

So there is no password ; PINE will ask me each time I consult this
folder. This is not what I desire. When I am using Incoming Folders,
hitting once TAB makes PINE check for new mail in all the folders ; when
it comes to this pop folder, each time, it will ask me a password...It's
very boring.

Is there a way to make PINE remember POP passwords during a session ?
Thanks a lot.

Niko.

Use Fetchmail to retrieve messages from all pop servers and if you
want you can use procmail to file all of your messages in folders.

Yes you can, but you'll have to recompile pine again. Take a look at

http://www.washington.edu/pine/tech-notes/installation.html#compile

and see the "PASSFILE" option. If you still need help to set this up,
don't hesitate to ask again.
