Hello,
I'm trying to set up pine on my computer running Slackware Linux 9.1.
To enable POP3 support, I enabled incoming folders, went into the
folder list, pressed "a" and added
"pop-server.austin.rr.com/pop3/brendanb"; it didn't work. I guess to
get this to work I need to know RR's POP server folder heiarchy so I
can put it correctly after "pop-server.austin.rr.com"; any
suggestions? I'm sure I missed some critical information in this post,
so please reply with any information that is missing.

Thanks!

I imagine that "brendanb" is your username, so you should write

pop-server.austing.rr.com/pop3/user=brendanb

Take a look at on the following link for more information os setting up
incoming folders.

I hope that helps.

Eduardo,
Thanks much for your help. I did what your pine guide said and used the
maildrop setting, and everything appears to be working great! Thanks
again!
