Hi all,

Dan's inquiry brought up something I've been wondering for a loooong time:
Does anybody know how to setup multiple IMAP servers in Pine w/o having 2 
configs?  I've seen references to this online, but the document everybody 
references isn't around anymore.  Iirc, the guy used to work for Math at 
UWash, but isn't there anymore and the admins pulled his page.

Ultimately, I'd like to have my Gmail, Isis, and Physics emails in one 
place (forwarding isn't an option).

Thanks!
Kevin
