on my alpine in pine.conf we have settings: inbox-path=#md//var/spool/mail/$USER
and alpine is: oceanic:~# rpm -qa alpine alpine-2.02-1.fc14.x86_64
and it works.
Thanks for helping out. Just want to confirm.
Is /var/spool/mail/$USER maildir format or mbox I have read that mailbox location generally used for mbox format.
If it is maildir format, then one more question, are you able to see all folders in the maildir or just INBOX using that setting?
Thanks, UG

Hello,
I am trying to configure pine.conf for all users and running into an issue. In this setup, Mailbox format is Maildir and Maildir location is /Mail/Username/{new,cur,..etc}
First thing required in alpine was patch for maildir and this has already been done. After that I have tried setting up folder-collection Mail #md ../../Mail/username and also tried using #mc (not sure which one is correct #md or #mc). Nothing worked.
If maildir support in alpine does not work like it does for mbox then I'll have to configure IMAP setings in pine.conf for alpine users. I must say that alpine is installed on mail server :). Although IMAP setting may work fine, it will prompt user for password initially when checking email and while sending first email. I'd like to avoid this by using #md or #mc.
If anyone has any useful inputs please let me know.
