Hello n800 users
I was using the Pine email client on the 1st N800 OS. Now the previous OS & the newest one are incompatible with Pine. Ive tried installing Pine from Apps Mgr and from a deb and I get an error "pine is not compatible with this vers of OS".

HAs anyone here discovered a trick for making Pine install & work? Alternately, is there a N800 Port for elm or mutt email clients.

I was using Pine to log in and "Vet" my email deleting spam and files with big attachments before pulling down the "good" email to the N800 with a POP3 email client.

any ideas would be appreciated
thanks

Where did you find Pine? It's not in any of the repos I've used. It could be a simple matter, but I would need to see the .deb.

??? Pine ???

I'm actually porting it to maemo ...

So you are saying that there is already a port of pine on Maemo ?

For information, i ll release a alpha version in one week.

Ps : if you want i can send you a snapshoot sources of the actual port developpment. It's not well integrated to maemo ... but it s work.

I'd like just Pico myself...but a friend of mine at UNC uses Pine to this very day for ALL of his email. He refuses to use anything else.

It's for the 770 though, but a simple (hah! not for me, people!) recompile to an armel.deb package should make it go on the N800.

For the interested, here's a demonstration of pine on the 770:

Hello
thanks to all who replied. I found the Pine.4.64-1_arm.deb via a google search in March 2007 , cant remember where.

Ive uploaded this Pine deb (temporarily) to my sever so you developer folks can have a look at it and study it.
http://66.207.80.93/stuff/

This Deb for Pine did work on the 1st vers of the OS that shipped with the N800 when I bought it in N800, but no longer installs with the newer firmware.

please advise me if you have a new/better Pine port that works with this new firmware.

many thanks

That's good news! Re the future of pine, a successor is being developed. It's called Alpine and is close to graduate from the alpha development / testing. See the news here,

http://www.washington.edu/alpine/

One problem with Pine is the handling of foreign character sets. On the Nokia IT OS the default character set is UTF-8 (that's what xterm is running with and apparently can't be changed to say any of the ISO-8859-x) char sets and Pine doesn't correctly deal with that. Hopefully, Alpine will work better in this regard.
