Subject: remote imap-accessible abook in mbx format?

I got tired of seeing a lock error messages whenever my
imap-accessible abook was accessed by more than one pine so I
decided to change the abook folder format from unix mbox to
c-client mbx because mbx format is supposed to be good at sharing
access.

The first thing I tried was to just convert my existing
imap-abook to imap-abook.mbx by selecting the messages and saving
them using the #driver.mbx trick. I could access the folder as a
regular folder but when I tried to access it as an abook, the
Pine abook screen displayed

 Un-readable

and could not open it.

I then tried to create the abook from the Pine abook screen by
specifying #driver.mbx/Msgs/Configs/imap-abook.mbx in the Folder
line but got these type of error messages:

Error: "CREATE failed: Can't create mailbo...". Can't fetch remote addrbook.

Error opening/creating address book
  {my.imap.server/user=ii}Configs/imap-abook.mbx

Before I mess around with this any more, I am wondering if it is
even possible to have a pine remote imap-accessible abook in mbx
format?

Thanks,
^X,
Nancy

Does anyone know of a wait to "refresh" the list of mail in the Inbox
index??  Once you read, save, delete, move etc... can you refresh the list
without closing Pine and reopening??  I am using PC-Pine version 4.33 with
IMAP access to Mircosoft Exchange 5.5

Thanks

Under linux I use CTRL-L to refresh the screen and check for new mail,
which seems to also sync my view with that of the server.

Regards,

Stewart James

In any folder, go to the bottom and press down-arrow.  This
triggers pine to check the folder.

Triggering an eXpunge will do it too.
