Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been reading debian-user for a while. There is actually a configuration file of sorts. See /usr/share/doc/libc-client4.7/imaprc.txt for details. Note also the warning the author has put in it. ********************************************************************** * DANGER! BEWARE! TAKE CARE! * ********************************************************************** * * * These files, and this documentation, are for internal UW usage * * only. This capability is for UW experimental tinkering, and most * * emphatically *not* for sorcerer's apprentices at other sites who * * feel that if a config file capability exists, they must write a * * config file whether or not there is any need for one. * * * * This information is subject to change without notice. Commands * * may be added, removed, or altered. The behavior of comamnds may * * change. Do not use any of this information without consulting me * * first. c-client's defaults have been carefully chosen to be right * * for general-purpose and most special-purpose configurations. If * * you tinker with these defaults, all hell may break loose. * * * * This is not an idle threat. There have been several instances of * * people who ignored these warnings and have gotten burned. * * * * Don't even trust this file to work. Many of the things which can * * be changed by this file can also be changed by the application, * * and it is totally unpredictable which will take precedence. It * * all depends upon how the application is coded. Not only that, you * * may cause the application to crash. * * * * In other words, keep your cotton-pickin' hands off my defaults. * * If it crashes and erases your mail, I don't want to hear about it. * * Consider 'em ``mandatory defaults''. Got a nice ring, eh? :-) If * * you must tinker with defaults, play with the .pinerc and pine.conf * * files in Pine. It's got options galore, all supported for you to * * have fun. They're also documented; so well documented, it takes * * two strong men to carry around all the documentation. ;-) ;-) * * * * Joking aside, you really shouldn't be fooling around with this * * capability. It's dangerous, and you can shoot yourself in the * * foot easily. If you need custom changes, you are better off with * * local source code modifications. Seriously. * * * * One last warning: don't believe anything that you read in this * * document. Every effort has been made to ensure that this document * * is incomplete and inaccurate, and I take no responsibility for any * * glimmers of correct information that may, by some fluke, be here. * * * ********************************************************************** If after reading that you still aren't afraid, try it. Let me know if it works and when I upload 4.7a-1 (which I just Debianized) I'll include instructions on it. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
