Using Pine

When you access the math department through an ssh connection or on a terminal pine should work with default settings by accessing local files with no configuration required.

Setting up Pine for IMAP

If you need to set up pine, say on a system outside of the math department, you will need to configure it to access email through IMAP. Start pine and proceed through the following steps...

• Type "L" for Folder List.
• Select "Incoming-Folders"" and hit "Enter".
• Type "A" for Add-ing a new folder.
• In the server name prompt, type "heaviside.mit.edu/ssl/user=/novalidate-cert" Where is your user-id on the math department.
• You will be prompted for your password. Type that and hit Enter.
• Quit out of pine and start it again to use the newly created folder in Folder List.
