Thanks, Steffen. I want to say that I do appreciate the work you are
doing. My reference to mailx was just meant to be a suggestion that the
code there might give a pointer to how this case should be handled.
The problem appears to lie with the /Mail at the end of the folder
definition. It was put there on the instruction of a support person a
long time ago, and since it worked with both mailx and pine, I never
thought to question it. I have a different account elsewhere whose
folder definition is just
set folder=imaps://username@servername
with no trailing directory name, and s-nail handles that correctly,
opening my INBOX on the mail server.
Regards,
Stephen Isard
