new pine user on pop3 acct
I recently started using unix in osx,and loving it! I am now wanting to use pine for email. I installed it using fink and besides it not being the most updated version, it seems to work fine, except that every message I erase seems to come back everytime I log in. It is a pop3 account. I have also had a couple of times where it would not log in to my inbox and it gives the message "user has no maildrop". I tried to create the inbox under user/mail, but that didn't work. the next time I started a new terminal session, it logged in fine, but still with the full mailbox everytime. Is there a setting in config, to remove the email permanently?

As well, I have tried to mail from the command line. It seems pretty slick, but the email doesn't come from my email address, but my user name on my computer. It seems to give out my ip address etc... Is this safe, or is that stuff sent from a regular email anyway?

2vcard

2VCARD(1)						   Addressbook conversion tools 						 2VCARD(1)

NAME

       2vcard - convert addressbooks to VCARD format

SYNOPSIS

       2vcard [ -F | -f | -h | -v  ] [ -i FILE ] [ -o FILE ]

DESCRIPTION

       2vcard  is a little perl script to convert an addressbook to the popular VCARD file format.  Currently, 2vcard can convert addressbooks and
       alias files from the following formats: abook, eudora, juno, ldif, mutt, mh and pine.

       The VCARD format is used by gnomecard, for example, which, in turn is used by the balsa email client.

USAGE

       Per default, 2vcard reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Alternatively, the input- and output-files  can  be  specified  as  command-line
       options.

OPTIONS

       A summary of the options supported by 2vcard is included below.

       -F     print a list of the currently supported formats

       -f format
	      convert from format [ default: mutt ]

       -h     Show summary of options and exit.

       -i FILE
	      Read input from FILE.

       -o FILE
	      Write output to FILE.

       -v     Show version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

       In a pipe:
	      tr '^M' '
' < EudoraNicknames | 2vcard -f eudora > out

       Alone: 2vcard -i ~/.aliases -o ~/.addbook.grcd

VERSION

       0.5
