Subject: Accessing the pine-info directories using pine and IMAP

I want to be able to access the pine-info lists from
ftp.cac.washington.edu from pine. I have just started using pine
with imap so I am not very familiar with how to make it work. 

What is the proper procedure to add this to your pine mailer?

When I tried to add a new folder for pine-info, I typed the following
command in the folder list:

A (Add folder)

It returns with: Folder Name to Add: 

I type: {ftp.cac.washington.edu/anonymous}pine/pine-info/[] 
and hit return.

When I do this, I get the error:

IMAP Protocol Error: Command Unrecognized: CREATE

Looking at a past post about this same subject (different problem)
the author of the note described putting this in the collection list.

I also attempted to do that by going to SETUP, selecting L and
creating a new collection.

In the Server field, I put {ftp.cac.washington.edu/anonymous} and
in the Path field, I put: pine/pine-info/[]

When I do a ^X to save it, it comes back with the same error as above
when I created the folder. 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Try the following settings when adding the collection:

Nickname  : Anything
Server    : ftp.cac.washington.edu/anonymous
Path      : #public/pine/pine-info/
View      :
