You're looking at the difference between an mbox-based tool (pine) and a |
| 2 |
maildir-based tool (postfix). |

I'm not sure if the mbox/maildir USE flags can override the default |
| 7 |
behaviour, but you could try "-mbox maildir" in your USE flags and re-emerge |
| 8 |
both. |

Personally rather than trying to get pine to work I switched to mutt. |

Greetings, |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I've installed Postfix. But when I try to use Pine as a mail client, I |
| 29 |
can't seem to read an inbox. It looks like Pine is trying to use an "inbox" |
| 30 |
which is a file, and Postfix delivers things as individual messages to a |
| 31 |
folder. Can I configure Pine to read messages from a folder? Or, does pine |
| 32 |
require messages appended as one file? Or, is there something I can change |
| 33 |
in Posfix? I'm flexable :-) |
| 34 |

Thank you for your time |
