IMAP - PC Pine (Windows)

UGAMail
------------------------

SSL is a security option for use with the UGAMail system, and we encourage you to use SSL whenever possible. However, problems are being reported with inbound SSL (most notably when automatically copying mail to the Sent Folder). If you experience any problems when sending mail, try disabling the inbound SSL setting.


If you would like to read your UGAMail email mail with PC Pine, you will need to follow these instructions to configure it properly.

To obtain PC-Pine.  Go to http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/pcpine.html.  Download the version that has SSL support only.  In the screen shot below, it is the first download on the webpage.

Download the zip file to your machine and save it in a place where you can find it (for example, C:\Temp\).

Expand the zip archive to a folder on your computer's hard drive (for example, C:\pine\) with an unzip program like UltimateZip (available from http://www.ultimatezip.com/).

Below is a close representation of the files you should see when expand the PC-Pine zip archive.

To begin the setup procedure you want to run the "pine" program in the pine directory.

If so, choose Use Local configuration file and choose Use this as the default PC-Pine Configuration.

You may see the following screen as the first screen you will see is the Greeting Text screen.  Press E to continue.

Then you should see the setup box for the location for your inbox.

Type the following information to tell PC-Pine where your incoming mail is located:

{email.uga.edu}inbox

You'll be presented with a request add this to your pinerc file.  Choose Yes.

To finish your configuration once the main menu appears, choose option S (for Setup) and then option C (for Config).


Once you see the configuration screen, there are only a few setting you need to supply for PC-Pine to check and send e-mail and to save e-mail on the server.

The settings you need to be concerned with are as follows:

user-domain                            = uga.edu

For UGAMail

Once these are entered, choose E to Exit Setup.  You will be asked if you want to save your configuration changes.  Choose Yes.
