This is what I am getting now when I try to open the inbox.  This is
with the incoming set to {pop.3.server}troy.  Note that my username on
my personal box is actually twical.

Error

RSH to imap folder timed out
Operation failed : Can't open folder troy - No such folder

Sorry if I am missing something simple.

Use your POP username '{my.pop.server}pop_username' & you should be
golden.

My bad:
http://www.washington.edu/pine/faq/config.html#9.3
the syntax for POP is slightly different then for IMAP.
You gotta know what the folder name on yer remote POP server
is wanna access.

No, I don't think so. In "{pop3server/pop3/user=popuserid}INBOX" both
"/pop3" and "INBOX" should be constants. That is, if your server is
"mail.namn.se" and your user ID is "nisse", then I think the following
will do:

{mail.namn.se/pop3/user=nisse}INBOX
