I think your saying that PINE does have IMAP - again I don't see
how to set it up.
Let me tell you what I think is happening.
I can open up a window where I can see the size of my
/var/spool/mail directory. Just prior to opening PINE the file
BRAD has XX K bytes of size. I open up PINE and it goes to 0
bytes.
Fetchmail goes out every 10 mintues and downloads my email from
comcast (and other places) and splits them up amoung different
files in /var/spool/mail.
Pine is schedule to go out every 15 minutes (that's as short of
time available) to /var/spool/mail and gets my mail (where it
puts it I don't know).
Anyway, that's what I'm seeing.
Brad
