Pine's got no problems with inboxes anywhere in the file system, you can even have your inbox on a remote pop-server. Just change the inbox-path under "Setup", "Configure" (from "Main Menu"). If you turn on "enable-incoming-folders" in "Setup", "Config" you can even have multiple incoming mail folders. To add a folder press "Add" in the "Incoming Message Folders" section of "FOLDER LIST" or simply edit the ~/.pinerc by hand (much faster if you should add a lot of folders). If your system is set up and working with /usr/mail/uid as mail folders and you want to keep it that way, but want to support the /var/spool/mail/uid location as well the easiest way to accomplish that would be to make a soft link: cd /var/spool ln -s /usr/mail Hope this is helps /fax -- +- Fredrik Ax -+------ Snailmail ------+-- Where to reach me on the net -+ | \\|// | Kämnärsvägen 13 E:202 | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | @ @ | S-226 46 LUND, SWEDEN | WWW: http://www.df.lth.se/~fax/ | +-oOO-(_)-OOo--+-----------------------+---------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
