Subject: IMAP Config Question.

I'm using pc-pine 4.31 to process mail that comes into a
Solaris system that acts as the imap server.
I have been able to get pc-pine to access my inbox fine, and
it saves fcc copies of sent mail in my Solaris mail
directory just fine.

But I can't figure out how to configure pc-pine so that when
I save an incoming message, it will go into a folder under
my Solaris account instead of on the PC without typing the
collection name explicitly for each message.

Does anyone know how to set this up?

if you don't need the folder collection that is on your pc, then delete
the configuration for it.  that should allow you to save to your solaris
collection by default.

Redefine your Mail collection list. Make it point to the solaris machine.
Press M S L and edit your configuration of the "Mail" collection list
(that's the name in unix pine, is it the same in pc-pine?)

You'll have to define it something like:

Nickname  : Mail
Server    : {solaris.machine/user=my_name}
Path      : mail/
View      :

The disadvantage of this, is that there may be some delay when you press
"L" to read your folders list. I hope that won;t be noticeable in your
case.

  On the other hand, if you are just worried of saving to folders like
"saved-messages", you can define those folders with their complete IMAP
path, that is to say, define

default-saved-msg-folder  = {solaris.machine/user=your_name}mail/saved-messages

and so on for some other folders (like postponed-messages, etc).

I hope this helps.

Ta-da!  Thanks!!

I had set up "sent-messages" okay, but did not know that I
should redefine the <Mail> collection itself, as you
indicated.  For anyone who is interested, my pinerc on the
pc ended up with this line:

folder-collections=Mail {babbage.cs.qc.edu/user=vickery}Mail/[]

The first "Mail" is the label for this collection, and the
second one is the name of the subdirectory in my Solaris
home directory where I file incoming messages.

Thanks again,
Chris Vickery
