Hi:
Sorry for the cross posting but I deparately need help. When I try to
launch the Pine Email client I keep getting the error message "[Error:
"Invalid folder name" Can't fetch remote configuration]". Needless to
say, I cannot access my spamcop account via IMAP. I tried the Pine
newsgroup but the Pine people told me to ask someone at spamcop. I'm
showing my pinere file so another Pine user might be able to tell me
what I'm doning wrong, and tell me how to fix it. If anyone can tell me
what I need to do to fix it, I would deeply apprecaite it. TIA

# Pine configuration file -- customize as needed.
#
# This file sets the configuration options used by Pine and PC-Pine. If you
# are using Pine on a Unix system, there may be a system-wide configuration
# file which sets the defaults for these variables. There are comments in
# this file to explain each variable, but if you have questions about
# specific settings see the section on configuration options in the Pine
# notes. On Unix, run pine -conf to see how system defaults have been set.
# For variables that accept multiple values, list elements are separated
# by commas. A line beginning with a space or tab is considered to be a
# continuation of the previous line. For a variable to be unset its value
# must be blank. To set a variable to the empty string its value should
# be "". You can override system defaults by setting a variable to the
# empty string. Switch variables are set to either "yes" or "no", and
# default to "no".
# Lines beginning with "#" are comments, and ignored by Pine.
