Subject: READ-ONLY/lost-connection recovery

Is there a way to set Pine to reconnect
automatically on lost connections and is there a
way to restore writability if another process hits
your INBOX?

If you create an INBOX in mbx format in your home directory, pine will
move your mail to that instead of in the public place. And then pine will
be able to have several concurrent R/W sessions to your INBOX.

Ok.  Thats good if you have multiple sessions, but
I often leave Pine open for long periods of time
and in that time it occasionally looses its
connection.  I do a manual G INBOX to get it back.
That seems like a pain.  How can I make it restore
automatically.  (Outlook restores automatically)

I'm don't think I got an answer for this so I will
ask again....

How do I get Pine to reconnect after it loses a
connection or the session becomes read-only?

I do not know about reconnection (to an IMAP server), but when it comes to
being read-only there is no way back as far as I know. The way to avoid
the problem om read-only is to use the MBX format of the INBOX.
