I hate replying to a mailing list just to correct someone, when it has
nothing to do with the mailing list. But oh well.
Chris Bond: Uh, Pine is a mail CLIENT.
Pine can read mbox and mailbox formats.
Qmail is a mail SERVER.
Qmail can write to mailbox or Maildir formats.
Pine can not read Maildir which is the format "I" am using on my system to
be compatible (and stable).
The original person that posted this email to the list was asking for a
patch for Pine to read Maildir. If there was such a patch, I was unaware
and wanted more information.
But a patch is not available for Pine to read Maildir formats. Therefore
another discussion came up talking about installing IMAP to use Maildir
support. Unfortantly there seems to be no clean way to install these
patches to IMAP.
IMAP is a daemon that runs on a box on a port and allows IMAP clients to
connect and read mail.
IMAP normally supports mbox and mailbox formats. On the Qmail main page,
there seems to be a few patches to IMAP to make it read Maildir formats.
Why is this patch for IMAP important? Pine can read IMAP just fine.
Therefore, you WANT to install IMAP on a server using Maildir to get Pine
to work on the system.
I WILL BE THE TEST BED for this procedure on the webpage and I'll post the
results here when I finish. Mainly because I miss Pine. :(
