Wolf:  *** this is correct syntax for incoming folders, BUT the name "INBOX" is for
Wolf:  the main inbox folder. The other incoming folders must have different name,
Wolf:  IMHO. If you want only the one inbox having it on IMAP server, use config item
Wolf:  inbox-path with syntax "{server/switch1/switch2/...}INBOX", or if you have one
Wolf:  inbox on your local machine, leave blank inbox-path, which means
Wolf:  /var/spool/mail/USER (default INBOX) and set option incoming-folders with
Wolf:  syntax "INBOX-NAME {server/switch1/switch2/...}INBOX". In folder view, you can
Wolf:  add the folder in incoming folder list pressing A and enter values. Or edit
Wolf:  .pinerc and set there (as Bert Driehuis wrote) for example:
Wolf:
Wolf:  incoming-folders="IMAP Inbox" {server1/user="driehuis"}INBOX,
Wolf:          "Spam.Report" {server3/user="spam.report"}INBOX,
Wolf:          "Spam.Help" {server3/user="spam.help"}INBOX
Wolf:
Wolf:  BUT DO NOT USE WORD "INBOX" FOR THE NAMES!!
Wolf:
Wolf:  If you want to have more incoming folders, check "enable-incoming-folders" and
Wolf:  restart pine.
Wolf:
Wolf:  If you want to have INBOX folders in folder collection, you have to use "path"
Wolf:  and maybe "view", for example
Wolf:
Wolf:  INBOX {localhost/ssl/user=USER}/var/spool/mail/[USER]
Wolf:
Wolf:  but you will still see INBOX as collection and there only one folder "USER".
Wolf:  This is syntax for mailbox folders. I'm not sure if it is possible to access
Wolf:  INBOX folder in folder collection setting for Maildirs, for example I was not
Wolf:  able to access INBOX by collection on courier-imap server.




Alright, I added MiraPoint to the beginning of the line and appended
[] to the end:

folder-collections=blah,
blah,
blah,
blah,
MiraPoint INBOX {server.temple.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX[],
MiraPoint Folders {server.temple.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert}[],


Went to my Collections List, chose MiraPoint INBOX and logged in.

Blank.

The title says "Folders on server.temple.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert in INBOX"
So it thinks it's a folder, and not my inbox for that IMAP server.


So now what?


Thanks
