Hi everyone,

I was previously running my own mailserver and had pine working great,
 but have since switched to a new webhost company and decided to have
them handle my mail..  I tried adjusted my pinerc file but my it says
"authentication failed" each time I enter in my password...  The
hosting company said they can't support pine because they don't know
anything about it, so I thought I'd write here.

what previously was in my .pinerc file was this sort of thing:

inbox-path={star:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=patrick}inbox
default-fcc={star:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=patrick}sent-mail

And I changed it to:

inbox-path={mail.denetron.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/[email protected]}inbox
default-fcc={mail.denetron.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/[email protected]}sent-mail

When running pine, it asked for my password but then said it could not
authenticate...  Yet I could go to the hosting company's webmail page
and login with the password and username fine.

Also, I noticed when I had my own mail server, it would create mbox files like:

read-messages-feb-2007
sent-mail-feb-2007

The webhost I am with uses maildir format, so I am wondering if that's
going to be a problem for pine?

When I log into their webmail, I see the folders:
INBOX
Drafts
Sent
Trash

and it makes me wonder if it's a problem that pinerc has "inbox" in
lowercase?  Or if it doesn't matter and that pine will just create
whatever it needs... ?

Thank you.
