Hi.
I have a mailsever with qmail.
My friends want to check their emails.
& They want to use Pine.
Of course,They don't use IMAP or POP,But also they
want to ssh on mailserver & check their email.
I installed ./Mailbox format for qmail.
Now,when my friends want to do it,How to configure
their pine?
When my friend open page of setup/config in pine,they
don't know what write for parameters,typically they
don't know to what write front of PATH of inbox,or
etc.
Please guide me.....
Yours,Mohsen.

Configure an IMAP server for QMail, and have them use an IMAP connection
to get to their inbox.  Either that, or I've heard there is a Pine patch
for Maildir format.

Well, you could just use IMAP to connect to it.. So you don't accidentally
trash mail if you connect with multiple accounts.  (I'm a huge IMAP fan,
and often inadvertently have several mail programs running on different
machines just in my office.. heck, sometimes pine and a GUI mail reader
on the same machine..  IMAP is what makes it possible..)

>don't know to what write front of PATH of inbox,or

All you have to do is set inbox-path to "Mailbox", AFAIK.

That's how mine's set up now -- even with what I said above, I admit I changed
my personal acct I ssh into back to using normal local mail.. (but sometimes I
go back to IMAP for a while if I think I'm going to connect with multiple
machines.)
