How to RESEND (BOUNCE) all your MAIL with PINE
READ THIS FIRST: Please do not use the 'bounce' feature of pine to
resend all of your mail to Google's Gmail. If Gmail is inundated with
thousands of messages all at once from MIT, Gmail will start blocking
all mail from MIT for a period of time, causing widespread disruption
of service across the MIT community. If you must resend all of your
mail to Gmail, please do it in small batches, waiting several minutes
between each batch.
Run "pine" on athena; if it asks if you want to use the SIPB pine or
Athena pine, tell it Athena pine.
Then, type 's' to enter the Setup screen, then 'c' to access the
Configuration options. Type a 'w' and then the word 'aggregate' and
then press return. This will move the cursor to the option called
"enable-aggregate-command-set". You need to enable this option in
order to copy folders, so type an 'x' if there is no X in the box
(like [ ]).
Then scroll down another three lines and put an X in the box for
"enable-bounce-cmd", if it doesn't have one already.
Press 'e' to Exit Setup, and 'y' to save changes to your
configuration. Pine will return you to the main menu.
Press 'l' to see the folder list. The topmost "Folder-Collection <MIT
Mail>" is your IMAP account. You can go into each folder that you
want to resend to your other account.
In each of these folders, press ';' to select messages, then 'a' to
select all. Press 'a' and then 'b' to Bounce the messages. It will
ask you what address you want to resend them to - tell it your other
address.
Repeat this step until you've resent all your folders. When you're
done, quit pine.
