Problem with Pine
I'm learning a little about pine after downloading it. I can't seem to get it to work, though. It can't open the inbox -- it sits there (as the little slash mark rotates) but after a while it stops and can't make the connection, with a message saying that "connection to gmail.pop....(something) failed, operation timed out.) It also tried to open the inbox as soon as I opened pine.

I can't send mail either. it says "error sending. connection to gmail.smtp.msa.l.google.com,25 Operation timed out."

I've checked to configuration settings and I think I've got everything correct. Anyone else have these problems?

rpload

rpload(1)						      General Commands Manual							 rpload(1)

NAME

       rpload - pine remote data utility

SYNTAX

       rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder

DESCRIPTION

       Rpload  may be used to convert local Pine configuration files or address books into remote configurations or address books.  It is intended
       to be used by system administrators.  Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Pine.

       Local_file will usually be a user's pine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be	used  (with  the  help	of
       Pine's  -p, -P, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder.  A copy
       of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Pine.

       -f		   Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format.  This will delete the contents of the folder so use it
			   carefully.

       -s trimSize	   If  the  number  of	messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is for the header message), then
			   messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left.  If this option  is  not
			   set no trimming will be done.

       -t Type		   The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig.  (Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote
			   pinerc should be used instead.)

       -l Local_file	   The file on this system that is to be copied.

       -r Remote_folder    A remote folder name to be copied to.  See the Pine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name.  One  example
			   is
			   {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
