Pine and pop3
Is anyone currently using PINE to send and receive email messages on the
internet? I have Suse 7.2 running pine 4.33. Although I can send out new
email, I am unable to receive email messages (lack of knowledge on my part).
From the main menu, I go into setup, then press C for configuration. Here I
can enter the first 4 lines. I am leaving the rest at default. These first
four lines contain my personal name, user and domain (rbryce@mcleodusa.net)
and then the smtp server and nntp server. I do not see where I can enter the
pop3 server (mail.mcleodusa.net), or my account password.
I went to the developers site where I learned that version 4.0 and greater do
support pop3 servers, but cannot find any docutmentation on how to get the
pop3 server to work. Kmail works just fine, but I always like to use the
text based tools. I feel that if I can figure out where to put in the pop3
server and password, I will be in good shape.
I did notice that from the main menu, if I go into setup, there is the option
to change the password, but pine is looking for a /bin/passwd file (looks
like there should be a script there) but that is missing. That might not
have anything to do with the pop3 mail though. Maybe I am overlooking
something. The HowTo's that I have looked at seem to skip over the pine
configuration.
If anyone has any suggestions they would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ricky Bryce
