Subject: PC Pine problem

I am a regular Linux user (RH distro), but on occasion I use Windows.
I am familiar with Pine as I use it in Linux for some time now.  I
decided to d/l and install PC Pine, but I have been experiencing a
glitch.  Upon opening Pine, I get a message:  *permission denied:
mail*
then that particular line changes to:  no folder opened.

I have *inbox* as my mail folder - just like I have in the Linux
version.  I can get messages from newsgroups just fine.  It makes me
want to think this is a password issue (mail), but I cannot remember
entering a password in the Linux version, nor can I find anything
regarding this issue in the *help* secton, or entry fields in the
*configure* section.  Anyone have a clue as to why I am experiencing
this problem?  A solution?

Thanks to all,

Dick Williams

This leads me to believe there's something wrong with your inbox-path in
PC-Pine's Main, Setup, Config.  It should be in the form
{your.imap.server}INBOX if you're accessing your mail via IMAP.

If that doesn't fix it, or you can't figure out what to put there, answer
these questions:

 - Where is your e-mail located?  On your Linux box?  On an ISP or EDU
mail server?
 - How do you normally access your e-mail from the Linux box?  Locally
(direct file access), via IMAP, or POP3?  If you don't know, tell me what
the inbox path is on your Linux box.
 - Are the necessary services running on the computer where your mail is
located to allow you to access it from the PC?  If not, you may need to
install or activate the IMAP daemon to get acccess to your mail from
another computer.

You might also want to look at my PC-Pine page where I go into
excruciating detail about setting up PC-Pine. The part that is
relevant to your question is in this section:

Good luck,
