Mike, thanks for the answer... My mail server was OK... It was sending
emails correctly to the /var/spool/mail/$USER. But pine was moving the
messages from there up to the mbox file at user's home directory.. I took a
look at the .pinerc and the inbox directory was not defined. Then I forced
the spool directory and now everything is ok again...  Thanks

Joao.

remember in my old RH6, when reading remotely my e-mails with pine, they
weren't moved from the spool, once I could read them after with the netscape
locally... Today, with RH7X, they are moved to a local file mbox... so, once
I run pine, I cannot read my emails after in netscape... I would like to
know if it is possible to configure pine to work as before...and a tip of
how to do it..
