Well, I don't know about out of date. I've had so many problems with Pine used with Debian, Ubuntu/Kubuntu and SuSE/OpenSuSE and RedHat/Fedora over the years that I find that if I just stick with the source it works for me. Yes, Alpine is much better and not broken. But, at least I get the same result every time I install it.
Funny, I never had problems with suse's pine, and I have been using for years. They add some patches that others don't.
Previous attempts using a package for a certain distribution always resulted in the mail folder not being found at /home/user/mail which is where my mail folder is. Attempts to tell Pine where the mail folder is always failed. Alpine has already done that to me once.
Perhaps: .pinerc: # Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox # Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER). inbox-path= ... # Location relative to your HOME directory of the directory where your INBOX # for the maildir format is located. Default value is "Maildir". If your # inbox is located at "~/Maildir" you do not need to change this value. # A common value is also ".maildir" maildir-location= But I don't remember how to choose the mail folder. I have /home/user/mbox and the /home/user/Mail directory. Alpine took what Pine used without problems. What I usually do the first time is send myself an email using plain "mail", then read it using "mail". Then, I open Pine for the first time and it picks the same folder without problems. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
