2/7     Hi, I updated the following:
        inbox-path=/var/mail/$USER
        in my .pinerc.  Now I start pine, my inbox is always empty.
        even I sent test emails to this account.  I don't receive them.
        I thought that is what we needed to get mail in the new inbox.

7/7     What values do I use to get alpine to read my inbox?  It says the folder
        can't be found.  thanks -scottyg
        \_ Still no love, I don't have an inbox.  Just sent mail.  Is this
           happening for everyone?  -scottyg

7/2     Is imaps working?  What are the hostnames of the "incoming and
        outgoing mail servers" for CSUA email, and what kind of options
        should one set?
        I also noticed that we seem
        \_ Setup yer .forward or .procmailrc for now. I'm at a loss, too.
        \_ <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD>. Using SSH (on default port 993) like before.

8/20    Is it my imagination or it seems like Gmail is getting slower
        and slower by the day? Takes friggin' seconds to retrieve any mail.
        \_ ObGoogleSucks - GOOG short $100 guy
        \_ works fine for me, but my Inbox usually has < 20 e-mails
        \_ 30,000 iPhones checking for mail every 15-30 minutes
         \_ For some place like google that's not even noticable load.

12/20   How do I make Mozilla Thunderbird grab all the contents of
        my IMAP folders too when I go offline ?  It grabs 'Inbox'
        just fine, but doesn't update my various folders unless
        I click on them.  thanks.
        \_ You missed the checkbox in "Offline & Disk Space" that says, "When I
           create new folders, select them for offline use", and the button

4/17    Is IMAP up?  If not, how can I get pine/mutt to read my new
        maildir-based mail folder?
        \_ Pine and mutt both have native maildir support -- they should be
           able to access your inbox without any special configuration.  You
           can also use IMAP if you want, but only the secure version (imaps),
           Let me know if these aren't working for you.  --mconst

4/5     IMAP questions
        1. when I IMAP, I got this error:
        "the current comand did not succeed.
        The mail server responded: Out of disk space"
        what did I do wrong?
        2. is SMTP the same server as IMAP server?

3/25    Despite the fact that my .spamassassin/user_prefs file has the spam
        threshold set to 0.0, spamassassin is using 3.0, and consequently I
        am getting tons of spam in my inbox.  This didn't seem to be
        occuring several weeks or months ago.  What can I do to fix it?

2/7     Has anyone got Pine to work in the new CSUA environment?  I
        didn't see anything in the FAQ that described this.  When I open
        up Pine I get:
        [Can't open /var/mail/theeric: not a selectable folder]
        When I try to do anything (i.e move up or down with arrow, hit I
        for mail), I get another error:

2/5     How do I check my soda mail? mail, pine, both returns error.
        mail: .... is a directory
        pine: error...
        \_ mailx has been replaced with a Maildir-aware version; it should
           work correctly now.  Pine should work using the default config as
           of last week; look at /csua/soda-changes.2007.01 for a detailed

1/27    I tried following the instructions for setting up pine.  When I go
        to change inbox-path, it first asks me what server, and then what
        folder.  What do I put for each value.  I tried several combinations
        and nothing worked.
        \_ Just edit your ".pinerc" manually.  Search for "inbox-path"
           and put the value "/var/mail/yourlogin".  That worked for me.

1/26    Pine maildir patch, or root cookie. Prefer former. --linxu
        \_ Use mutt. ;)  Oh, alright.. it looks like the pine that's
           installed already has the patch.  Is there something it's
           failing to do? -- darch
           \_ Handle maildir by default?  At least some people will
              need instructions on how to use pine on new-soda.
