I'm not talking about the locker, I'm talking about Athena 10.
The problem seems to be that /etc/pine.conf as installed by debathena-
alpine-config, does not include MH in the folder-collections parameter.
If I manually change it to:
folder-collections="MIT Mail" {mit.edu/hesiod/imap}INBOX.[],
"Old MH Mail" #mh/[]
it works fine.
So I guess my question is "Can we add that to pine.conf?"
