Since Pine uses the same VMS MAIL mail file as VMS MAIL and PMDF MAIL, you can use any of these programs interchangeably and access the same messages stored in a VMS MAIL mail file.
Pine uses your VMS MAIL profile settings as follows:
AUTO_PURGE
When AUTO_PURGE is set, expunged messages will be purged from your mail file, i.e., purged from your WASTEBASKET folder.COPY_SELF
Your VMS MAIL COPY_SELF settings are honored by Pine when sending or replying to messages.MAIL_DIRECTORY
The MAIL_DIRECTORY profile setting is used when you do not specify a filename with your folder specification.PERSONAL_NAME
Your VMS MAIL PERSONAL_NAME setting will be used if none is set in Pine's configuration file.WASTEBASKET_NAME
As with VMS MAIL, the WASTEBASKET_NAME setting is used for your wastebasket folder name.
