To see IMAP folders in Pine, edit your .pinerc file in your home
directory before invoking pine:

    pico .pinerc

Find the lines for inbox-path and incoming-folders and edit them so they
indicate your imap mail store and the correct folders that you already
set up:

  inbox-path={mail.modwest.com}inbox

and these with each on one line with no linebreaks

  incoming-folders="folder1"
{mail.modwest.com}users/yourmailbox_name/foldername,

  incoming-folders="folder2"
{mail.modwest.com}users/yourmailbox_name/folder2name

When you are finished editting, CNTRL+X will exit pine and ask you to
save changes.

If you want to get at folders you have created inside Modwest webmail
via Pine, another quick way to do it is as follows:

At the shell prompt, type 'pine'

Then, M -> L -> A

(This gets you into the 'add a new folder collection' screen)

Then, on the Server line, put:

mail.modwest.com/user=USER/ssl/novalidate-cert

(Replace USER with your username)

Save (ctrl-x) and go back out (e) to the M (main) menu, then hit 'L' to
see your folder collection list. All your IMAP folders should appear
inside the collection you just created.

As an alternative to holding down "D" through potentially thousands of
emails, you can enable "select all" functionality using the following
key sequence after you have successfully logged in to your mailbox:

S (enters setup)
C (enters configuration)

Scroll down to "enable-aggregate-command-set" under "Advanced Command
Preferences"

X (sets "enable-aggregate-command-set")
E (exits setup)
Y (commits changes)

Now that "select all functionality is enabled, use the following
commands to delete all messages in the current folder:

i (enters inbox)
; (select)
a (all)
a (apply)
d (delete)
x (expung)
q (exit)
y (confirm)

Here are instructions from the people who make pine, on how to delete
messages using the select all feature.
