How to access folders other than inbox in mail

How does one read other folders besides "inbox" using mail? TIA

I'm assuming your are talking about accessing mail via Rebol. Rebol does not define any mail folders. In your email client, let's say it is Outlook Express, you have an inbox, sent items, outbox, etc. These are things Outlook Express define and create. They represent local storage on your computer. In Outlook Express you could access internet mail via two protocols POP3 or IMAP. POP3 is the most popular one and is the one you would use by default. POP3 requires your mail server to keep a mailbox for you. When you want your mail, your mail client uses POP3 to collect the mail from the server and places it on your local computer in Inbox. Normally (depending on your settings) it will clear the mail from the server. IMAP is a more sophisticated protocol that allows a server to keep multiple mail folders on your behalf. Outlook Express can use IMAP to access the mail contained in these folders and move the items between the folders if you want. You can see subject lines without downloading the message. Rebol uses POP3 only (at this time). When you use Rebol to collect your mail it returns a value in the Rebol program which represent your mail. You then need to do something with that. If you want to clear the mail on the server with Rebol you can but you must do so explicitly (see the manual). I hope that answers your question. Brett.

Aha. Where I was going with that was I wanted to be able to pull down all my REBOL posts, which are already being moved by my original mail program to a subfolder (I didn't want to turn off that auto-move). So right now it sounds like I must do that in my Yahoo reader in order to access from REBOL. (I tried adding the /folder name as reduced onto the opened port!, and tracing showed that value referenced by a word 'path, but still no go.) Thanks --- [brett--codeconscious--com] wrote:
