REVERT TO CONSOLE

I wanted to make sure I write this down somewhere, because I always forget how to configure Pine. I found a nice artical here, but had to go to google’s cache of the page to view it because it’s password protected now.

Here are the configuration entries I made to get pine working with my dreamhost account:

• personal-name: Enter your name or nickname; this is what receiver of your mail message will see
• user-domain: Enter your domain name. For example, my site is
  http://ehemminger.org so I entered, ehemminger.org.
• smtp-server: This is sometimes the tricky part. If I were remoting into my hosted account, I could use dreamhost’s smtp server, like this: mail.ehemminger.org/user=jeff@ehemminger.org. But I’m not, I’m using pine from my desktop. So instead, I’ll use my service provider’s smtp server. I’m using Marianas Cablevision, so I checked their site and found that the smtp server is: smtp.guam.net
• inbox-path: At Dreamhost, your Inbox path is “Inbox”. In Pine, you must indicate the server, your username, and the folder. The server and user name are contained in curly braces. For example, I entered: {mail.ehemminger.org/user=jeff@ehemminger.org}Inbox
• default-fcc: I set my default fcc (forward carbon copy) to my Sent mail folder. This way, I can keep a
  copy of every message I send. Example: {mail.ehemminger.org/user=jeff@ehemminger.org}Inbox.Sent
