I have seen a lot of suggestions, but not mine (works with pine 4.33): Open ~/.pinerc in an editor. Leave the "inbox-path" setting so it uses local mail at startup. Find the "incoming-folders" settings. Add something like: incoming-folders="Account Name" {mail.server.com/service=pop3/user=username}inbox, "Another Account" {mail.other.org/service=pop3/user=othername}inbox At startup pine will open the local mail folder (or whatever is in "inbox-path") and in the folder list you get INBOX and the folders defined as above. upon entering such a folder, pine will contact the server, ask for the password and login. This work well for me for three different pop3 mailservers. with kind regards, Rogier Steehouder -- ___ _ -O_\ Rogier Steehouder // | / mailto:r.j.steehouder@student.utwente.nl //\ / \ http://home.student.utwente.nl/r.j.steehouder/ // \ --------------------------------------------------------- "Bet you can't put it through the eye."
