I am using Alpine and IMAP. Using Pine, I can see my Inbox, and a
large set of subfolders. The subfolders contain mail that is saved
locally (from what I can tell), but that is accessble via the IMAP
server. Alpine sees my inbox, but not the subfolders. How do I
configure it to access the subfolders too?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I just changed from an old Fedora installation that had Pine running
on it to a Scientific Linux installation, and was trying to install
Alpine. I went to http://www.washington.edu/alpine/acquire/, clicked
on the RedHat/Fedora 7 rpm link, and asked that it be opened with the
Software Installer. After typing the root password, and selecting
Alpine - 1.10-1.i386 to install, the manager said it had an error
resolving dependencies, to wit:

Missing Dependency: libtinfo.so.5 is needed by package alpine

Looking at the newsgroup, I found a similar query but with libtinfo.so.
2, and a suggestion to use yum. So I changed to root, and typed

yum install libtinfo.so.5

which generated the following reply:

Loading "kernel-module" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

So I'm using pine to read news. One thing I don't like is that it puts the
new messages at the very bottom. No problem if it is a light activity
group but If there are alot of messages, it can take forever to scroll
down. Is there a way to show the newest message at the top? or
alternatively, is there a key to go all the way to the bottom?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm using Alpine 1.00 on Ubuntu 8.04. However, when I send email at
home using cable modem (wired USB interface or wireless), it showed
the following errror msg

[Error sending: Connection failed to smtp.xxx.edu,25: Connection timed
out]

This is my SMTP server setting

SMTP Server (for sending) = smtp.xxx.edu/novalidate-cert

It works fine if I send email using University net.

Thanks!

The computer center of my institution recently upgraded from pine 4.58
to pine 4.64.

Now I find that when I forward a mail message that has attachments
using the "F" command, the attachments do not actually appear in the
forwarded message.

If I use the old version of pine (still on the system) this does not
occur.
Also, if I use "tcsh" instead of "ksh", this also does not occur. I'm
using Fedora 6.

Any suggestions? I can't upgrade to alpin

I'm running Ubuntu, and have installed Alpine from the package
manager, so I have alpine_1.0+dfsg-3_i386

If I open Alpine from a login shell, then choose to view a URL in my
defined url-viewer, elinks opens as expected with the desired page
displayed.

The problem is that I prefer to use GNU screen to allow multiple
virtual terminals in a single SSH session. When I oppen Alpine from
inside screen, everything seems to work correctly (including color and
xterm-mouse), except for the url-viewer. The screen flashes "[VIEWER
command completed]" and the following is written to standard error:

"Can't exec /usr/bin/elinks -force-html http://www.google.com
Reason: No such file or directory"

This is the same command being used by Alpine outside of screen.

I have tried replacing the browser with a bash script that simply logs
any arguments that it receives in a text file. It executes as expected
when set as the url-viewer with Alpine running outside of screen, but
doesn't execute when Alpine is running inside screen.

Hey All,

I just installed alpine on a hardy heron ubuntu linux laptop. I am
trying to access imap mail folders from 'a small orange' (my shared
hosting account)

I am setting this up according to what I read here at
http://support.cs.utah.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid...

I would like to keep my e-mail/news synchronized across multiple instances
of alpine. For the most part, using IMAP with remote configurations works
well; however, the newsrc file is local. This is really inconvenient,
since I am not only required to add all of the feeds I want on every
instance, but also the "News Approximates New Status" option becomes
useless.

I tried setting the "Newsrc path" to reside on the
IMAP server, e.g.: {server.domain.tld/ssl/novalidate-cert/}path/newsrc
but this failed with the error:
"Unable to create news state {server.domain.tld/etc..."
I presume this means I simply can't do that.

Is there a clever trick that I can use here instead? Something obvious I'm
missing, perhaps? Of course, I could use an nfs mount to store the file,
but that isn't really practical for road warrior sort of work.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I'm a new at this console email thing. Set up Gmail IMAP on alpine
v1.0, it's working great, 'cept for a few annoyances.

I can't seem to delete my emails permenantly. They're sent to [Gmail]/
All Mail. I tried searching through the archives, but can't find
anything related. Can alpine send the 'deleted' emails to [Gmail]/
Trash when it expunges them?

best,
edge
