Cone lists several
funny-named folders, like #ftp
and #newsWhen connecting to an IMAP server for the first time, Cone reads server's list of default mailboxes. UW-IMAP server's list of default mailboxes includes optional folders it is capable of supporting, even if those folders are not actually configured and enabled, which includes MH folders. When Cone asks for the number of messages in the #mhinbox folder, the UW-IMAP server reports an error unless the account already has an MH-format mailbox (which is usually not the case).
Therefore, manual adjustments are needed after opening
an UW-IMAP account for the first time. Highlight each
unwanted mail folder, and press D to delete it. Leave
only INBOX and
Folders. The
Folders
directory will usually open the server account's home
directory. The default UW-IMAP server configuration
provides IMAP access to the entire server account's home
directory. In most cases mail folders will not exist in
the home directory, but in a subdirectory, such as
Mail.
Display the contents of the account's home directory by
opening Folders,
highlight the Mail
subdirectory, then press U, then T. This action creates a
top-level shortcut to $HOME/Mail, after which the top-level
Folders
entry may be deleted, leaving the UW-IMAP server account
showing only INBOX and
Mail as the
initial list of folders. This is usually the preferred
UW-IMAP server configuration.
ERROR: Your display appears
to be set to the UTF-8 character set. This application
cannot display this character set. If this application did
not read the display character set name correctly, the name
of the display's character set name can be manually
specified using the CHARSET environment variable. Otherwise
reconfigure your display to use a supported character set
and try
again.Cone requires the wide-character version of the Curses library in order to support UTF-8 displays. Some Linux distributions (or other systems) may not include a wide-character Curses library. The INSTALL file contains instructions for building a UTF-8 capable version of Cone for Red Hat 9, and earlier.
ERROR: Your display appears

application did not read the display character set name
correctly, the name of the display's character set name can

again.This error is reported if LC_ALL, LANG,
or some other locale-related variable is not set. A
similar error naming some other character set indicates
that this character set is not supported by Cone. Cone supports most ISO-8859 and
Cyrillic character sets. When built with a wide-character
enabled Curses library Cone can also display UTF-8, and
some East Asian character sets.
The server is running old POP3 code that does not implement all the modern POP3 features. Instead of trying to configure a POP3 account, configure a POP3 maildrop account instead. A POP3 maildrop account will work with servers that do not implement the modern POP3 protocol.
