RE: vpop and pine..
Hardcore unix veterans don't use PINE. :-P Hardcore folks won't use anything that doesn't use vi as it's editor. I'm not hardcore, I've only been using unix for 12 years so I use pine because gack a) I've already hacked it to support Maildir b) It supports POP/IMAP accessing my other mailboxes c) it's installed on every mail system I have an account on (including those I don't administer). Of course you have to be running PINE as the user that the maildir is owned as but I do it this way on my personal mailbox: ~matt/domains/simerson.net/matt/Maildir is my maildir. In my $HOME I have a symlink that points Maildir to that directory. It works just fine.

I'm using qmail+vpop+qmailadmin and I'm curious if there is a way to use pine w/ this setup? I have some hard core unix veterans who are whining. -Lexx

Nice suggestion, but that would just open up a world of hurt on a multi user spectrum :) -Original Message- From: Matt Simerson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 1:59 PM To: 'Alex Hathaway'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: vpop and pine..

Hardcore UNIX = View mail with VI!!! -Rich -Original Message- From: Matt Simerson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 20:43 To: 'Alex Hathaway' Cc: Vpopmail (E-mail) Subject: RE: vpop and pine.. He did say they were hardcore right? In that case each user has their own domain. I didn't say it scaled, just that it worked. ;-) The whole idea behing vpopmail and toasters in general is that users don't get interactive logins and thus can't run PINE or any other MUA on the server. If they're hardcore then they're running Unix on their workstation and can access their mailbox from PINE on their system connecting to the vpopmail servers using POP or IMAP.
