help required about pine

[pinaki]

Hi,

All my mails are getting downloaded from the mail server. Hence I am not being able to view them from the webmail client. I can use Pine to check my mails. I can see that that the all the mails are getting stored in a file called mbox in my home directory.

Can somebody please tell me how I can check my mails from Pine without actually downloading them from the mail server (so that I can also use the webmail client to check my mails).

Thanks in advance.

Two ways:

Delete ~/mbox will cause Pine to not move the mails.

In Pine's config you can set an option telling Pine to not move the mails.

Cheers
