Alpine imap

[Anonymous]

I have alpine configured to read my gmail using imap, I have more than the one
imap account that I would like to access, is that possible and if so how can I
set it up. I would appreciate any help anyone can give.

It is possible. I use two IMAP accounts. I set it up yonks ago though
so can't remember how, now!

You need to check "Enable Incoming Folders Collection" in the
configuration screen under "Folder Preferences". You can then add more
incoming folders by using the "Add" command on the folder display.

From the main menu, press S (for setup) then C (for config), then page
down until you find the option. The help screen for the option explains
the details.

Hope this helps.

This is useful if you want easy access and automatic checking of new mail.

You can also add a separate folder collection for each imap server (or
local mailboxes; or even multiple per imap server/local mailbox). Do this
via S (for Setup) L (for collectionList) and then fill in the details. I
added, e.g., a folder collection for Gmail, as follows:

---
Nickname : GMail: <login>@gmail.com
Server : imap.gmail.com/imap/ssl/user=<login>@gmail.com
Path :
View :

Fill in the fields above to add a Folder Collection to your
COLLECTION LIST screen.
Use the "^G" command to get help specific to each item, and
use "^X" when finished.

Success,
