[Pine-info] new member but not a new user has some questions

[loninappleton]

Hello,

   I was redirected here from the Alpine discussion for some q's directly 
related to PC Pine 4.64


   I do not know how to use pinerc adequately and my setup of pine
on Windows 2000 Pro is giving security prompts for logins which I normally
don't experience. I have a setup of PC Pine I've used since I built my 
first Windows pc.  Before that I used Pine on a bbs going back to 1993.


   But I've never much used or understood all the setup options.
   They remain obscure to a solo user who is not an admin or student
any place.


   I'm trying to get rid of screen prompts which say

      HOST pop.myisp.net [INSECURE] user:myusername Enter Password



This, I might add is not the only duplicate password prompt I am getting.

Other thing is in working mail, I am no longer able to edit the inbox.

When inbox reloads, all messages return N as unread even after I have just
done an edit.

All these things work fine on my old Win98 hard disk.  I have tried to
check individual settings but they don't seem to relate.  Which
subheading of the Settings/Config will get rid of these nuisances?
And how should my inbox path for a pop3 account be set up?


I have used:

   inbox path: {pop.myisp.net/user=myname/pop3/NOTLS}inbox

for a long time.



My thanks to Graham for pointing me over here.  The Usenet newsgroup
has not been very helpful.
