On July 1, anyone using pine to access their mail on mailbox.ucdavis.edu will be prompted to enter their login password when accessing their inbox. This change will make possible a unified method of email access for all pine users. Whether you access your mail through a dedicated POP server (blue, green, scarlet) or the central mail server mailbox.ucdavis.edu, you will be asked for an IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) password. The IMAP method of access will replace the NFS (Network File System) method currently in use. IMAP offers greater security, and it can properly handle file locking, which reduces the risk of corrupting an inbox.
