Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the qmail mailing list, and to qmail, and fairly new to
Linux/UNIX/BSD in general. I'm also an idiot. So please pardon my
questions, as I'm sure they've been asked before.
First: Is there a Maildir-capable version of Pine forthcoming? Anyone
know?
Second: pinq obviously works fine for reading mail from a telnet
session, but I have a lot of users who want to be able to quickly
check/read their mail from their shell, and then retrieve it later using
a pop3 client such as Netscape or Eudora. Is there any way to prevent
maildir2mbox from deleting mail from the maildir when translating?
That's still not a perfect solution, of course, since you end up with
duplicates of the mail you read from the shell, but I think it's better
than having to forward your own mail to yourself so you get get it via
pop later.
Of course, the most obvious solution is to tell my users to just check
their damn mail with their pop3 client, which I'm sure 99.9% of them do
99.9% of the time, but you know how people are. They want the
capability, even if they never use it.
Thanks for any input,
Michael Merideth
