cleaning up incoming-folders

[NM Public]

Beartooth, we need to clean up your incoming-folders list. In
order to do that, I need to know how exactly they are specified.
Can you type MSC (Main > Setup > Config) and use ^W (Where) to
find this section:

--- [ Normally hidden configuration options ] ---

incoming-folders =

Please copy & paste the incoming-folders list into a followup to
this message.

Thank you,
Nancy

incoming-folders = VA VA
bblx bblx
ACFG ACFG
ARTEMIS ARTEMIS
VCDL VCDL
Adel-inbox {mail.adelphia.net/pop3/u... bbgA {titan.lserv.com/novalidate-cer... novalug novalug
FM-inbox {mail.messagingengine.com/s...folder-collections = FM {mail.messagingengine.com/ssl/nov... "titan.lserv.com IMAP" {titan.lserv.... Mail mail/[]
news-collections = <No Value Set>
address-book = .addressbook
"Remote Address Book" {titan.lserv.c...

"Lserv Address Book" {titan.lserv.co...

I wondered why look there -- but I see that they're quite different. No
"-old" for instance ...

Beartooth, the problem you are having with TAB not working in
your incoming-folders collection is because some of these, e.g.,
VA, are now underspecified. To fix this, you need to edit them so
that they *explicitly* include the server specification. I.e.,
you need to edit each of them so that they are in this form.

nickname {server}foldername

For example, instead of:

VA VA

It needs to be:

VA {titan.lserv.com/novalidate-cert/user=karhunhammas}VA

Since I am not sure of the syntax for lserv, please try this
first with only one, e.g., with VA. You will need to edit this in
the MSC (Main > Setup > Config) screen in the 'hidden
configuration options' section.

My advice:

Do this for one incoming-folder, e.g., VA.

Quit & Restart Pine.

See if it works.

If it does, do it for the others.

If there are problems, we can revert to an old pinerc, thanks to
your remote-abook-history (which you should increase to 100
before doing this!)

Let us know how it goes. If anyone has any advice or suggestions,
please post!

Note that you should be able to access all these folders via the
other folder collections so even though incoming-folders are not
working at the moment, you should still be able to deal with all
your email.

Thanks,
