Subject: Problems on "Eliminating repeated password prompts in Pine" again

Hi,

I am using Pine 4.33 to access a remote IMAP server. However, I have a different
user name on the linux box, other than the email account user name on the IMAP
server. I configed Pine to have a remote .pinerc and remote address book on the
IMAP server. But Pine keeps asking me for my password everytime I try to open
different folders. I have read the post on
http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/1999.12/msg00170.html
and I add the /user=my-email-user-name after the mail server name in .pinerc,
but I
still get the same problem. Is there any way that I can just enter the user name
and password once instead of many times? Is this problem caused by my different
system-login-name and my-email-user-name?

Thanks a lot!

Jason Zhang

I suggest that you recompile pine with the option to use a
PASSFILE to store your passwords. I have info and links about
this here

Also, while you're at it you might want to upgrade to Pine 4.44.

HTH,
Nancy
