Subject: how do I save me username/password on PCPINE?

I'm using PCPINE just to access my IMAP server.

Each time it starts, it prompts me for the username (have to hit return)
and password (have to enter it).

How can I have it bring me directly into my IMAP Inbox?

Thanks

Given that you are using Pine4.44 you can create an empty file anywhere
and start Pine with the -passfile C:\full\path\to\emtpy\file (here C:\ may
be different in your system). If you call that file "pine.pwd" and you put
in the same directory where your PINERC file is, then you don't need to
use the -passfile switch.

After you do this, just start Pine, the rest of the process will be taken
care of by itself.
