Setup Pine Email Configuration

Step 1

• Invoke Pine (UNIX Pine or PC-Pine), logon and choose "s" (SETUP). Then choose "c"(Config) on the main menu.
• In the SETUP CONFIGURATION screen, you should find the following 3 parameters
• user-domain = (line 3)
• inbox-path = (line 6)
• folder-collections = (line 7)

Step 2

• Select the parameters and press <return> to change their values as shown below:
• user-domain = ust.hk
• inbox-path ={server_name}inbox
• folder-collections ={server_name}[]
  where "server_name" is the name of the corresponding email server.
• According to your appropriate set of email configuration, please enter the name of the Email Server accordingly. (If you are not sure which set of email configuration to use, please refer to our web page Problem in reading your emails? for help.)
• For example, staff /PG users would like to set your email server to imap.ust.hk, the 3 parameters should be set to:
• user-domain =ust.hk
• inbox-path ={imap.ust.hk}inbox
• folder-collections ={imap.ust.hk}[]
• For example, UG users would like to set your email server to imap.stu.ust.hk, the 3 parameters should be set to:
• user-domain =ust.hk
• inbox-path ={imap.stu..ust.hk}inbox
• folder-collections ={imap.stu.ust.hk}[]
• Please note that the user-domain should be always "ust.hk"

Step 3

• Type "e"(Exit Config), save your changes and then quit Pine. The whole setup precedure is done. Then you can start Pine to try again.
