I'm still not quite sure how to make pine work with this either, I
can make 'incoming' and plain folders... but when making an
incoming folder it asks what host it is on, putting localhost makes
it think a lot, then do nothing, and leaving it blank makes an
incoming folder, but it's not in $HOME/mail or /var/spool/mail so
I'm a lil confused
Instead of using pine to create the folders, try this:
- Exit any instance of pine you have running
- Edit your ~/.pinerc file
- Search for the line that starts:
incoming-folders=
- Change it to this:
incoming-folders="debian" ~/mail/debian
- If you wish to add more than one:
incoming-folders="debian" ~/mail/debian,
"folder2" ~/mail/folder2,
"folder3" ~/mail/folder3
(Use tabs to justify the folders 2-?, I'm not sure if it makes a
difference, but since that is how pine creates them, it is better safe
than sorry.)
thanks for the help so far... I think I'll make a dummie account to
test this on because I might have missed a few suggestions while
screwing around (doh!)
Might be good! You can then use the (b)ounce command to forward some
of your list e-mail to the test address to see if it is saved
properly.
Hope this helps.
