new fastmail config (PC-PINE)

[eachna]

I've been using Fastmail under Pine for many months now. Due to a faulty power cable (sigh), I have no access to my Pine install on my notebook.

I wanted to set up PC-Pine so I could read my IMAP mail from my home desktop machine (till Dell ships the new cable).

I tried to follow the config directions on the FAQ page, but, I keep getting the error "Could not determine server" after typing in my password. My password is correct (and I'm sure the caps-lock key is not turned on)

I don't recognize the configuration information, it looks like the server has changed since the last time I got this to work.

# List of directories where saved-message folders may be. First one is
# the default for Saves. Example: Main {host1}mail/[], Desktop mail\[]
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
folder-collections=Mail mail/[],
FastMail.FM {mail.messagingengine.com/user=<eachna at fast-mail dot org>/ssl}INBOX
FastMail.FM-Folders {mail.messagingengine.com/user=<eachna at fast-mail dot org>/ssl}INBOX.[]
user-domain=mail.messagingengine.com
inbox-path={mail.messagingengine.com/user=<eachna at fast-mail dot org}INBOX

I used to have to use /no-valid-cert (or someting like that) and I think there were some other flags as well.

My now-old config files still work just fine (I didn't notice that the servers _had_ been updatd), but, I don't have a copy I can reference.

I also tried it with username@fastmail.fm, but, that didn't work, either.

Does removing the 'at fast-mail dot org' part from your username help?

Have a look at this thread.

I wanted to thank the folks who tried to help me. My power cable came in so I was able to boot back in. This is my working config information for other people who may be having trouble with Pine.

Note that I have mail accounts other than at Fastmail (and only IMAP accounts are configured, POP3 doesn't yet work).

I do get a small error that says "Folder does not exist", but, I can get to all my folders, so, I think that's a minor issue on how I configured my Inbox path names.
