Well, if it helps, I've tested Mutt with both Courier and Binc, on the same folder collection, and what I see is: With Courier, I get 1 IMAP + INBOX. 2 IMAP INBOX whereas with Binc I only get line 1. Selecting line 1 shows my list of folders, line 2 opens the inbox itself. > Pine is a Pain to set up, folders must be inserted manually, but once > they're in pine is very good. > I've been using Pine with Courier for a long time and I'd like to carry on using it as that's what I'm familiar with. BTW has anyone had a look at Cone, a new console IMAP client written by the author of Courier? (Found it on freshmeat). -Adrian
