Tools how to find pine messages

still touching on the basics here:

first of all where are my received messages stored in pine?

/var/spool/mymail

is not it.

i guess i cant start my script without knowing this. because i need to move those files into a seperate folder and so on and so forth.

I can prolly do a grep or egrep to identify messages from a certain person. Like grep "^From: Bill Gates | nl" and then ofcouse putting the new lines back.

But after countless attempts its still not working. Experiencing program hang from executing the script.


Hints are apprecaited

This manual page documents briefly the abook program. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. abook is a text-based address book program. It contains Name, Email, Address and various Phone fields. It is designed for use with mutt, but can be equally useful on its own. OPTIONS

The --datafile option, as documented above, may be used BEFORE this option to search a different addressbook file. --convert [ --informat <inputformat> ] [ --infile <inputfile> ] [ --outformat <outputformat> ] [ --outfile <outputfile> ] Converts <inputfile> in <inputformat> to <outputfile> in <outputformat> (defaults are abook, stdin, text and stdout). The following inputformats are supported: - abook abook native format - ldif ldif / Netscape addressbook - mutt mutt alias - pine pine addressbook - csv comma separated values - palmcsv Palm comma separated values The following outputformats are supported: - abook abook native format - ldif ldif / Netscape addressbook (.4ld) - mutt mutt alias - html html document - pine pine addressbook - gcrd GnomeCard (VCard) addressbook - csv comma separated values - palmcsv Palm comma separated values - elm elm alias - text plain text - spruce Spruce address book - wl Wanderlust address book - bsdcal BSD calendar --add-email Read an e-mail message from stdin and add the sender to the addressbook. --add-email-quiet Same as --add-email but doesn't confirm adding. --formats List available formats.
