Re: Pruning and Imap

Riku,
   Thanks for sending your pinerc file. Pruning will only work if the 
sentmail folder is in the default folder collection and is specified by 
using a simple name like sentmail instead of {server}sentmail. The help 
text for pruned-folders might be helpful. The folders being pruned would 
be other folders in that same collection. In your case, you haven't 
specified any folder collections (other than the incoming collection) so 
the default and only folder collection is the set of local folders. Since 
sentmail is outside of that collection no pruning will happen.

   A way to get pruning to work would be to add a default folder collection 
that is on the imap server and to change the default-fcc line to be simply 
sentmail. Adding the default folder collection on the imap server may also 
change some of your other interactions with pine; for example, save might 
change; so it may or may not be what you want to do. Thanks.

Steve
