Hello,

unfortunately i cannot send mail with alpine anymore.

The error is: Error sending: can't connect to gmail-smtp-
msa.l.google.com, 465: Connection ti... (the rest is off screen and i
couldn't find an error log)

i found the following configuration lines on the internet. The first
one seemed to have worked fine. Now, non of those produce results.
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com:587/tls/user=us...@gmail.com
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com/submit/user=us...@gmail.com
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com:587/tls
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com/user=us...@gmail.com/ssl/novalidate-cert
(yes, i replaced user with my actual username)

Any hints? I'm running alpine 2.00 on ubuntu 9.04 with current
updates.

Thank you for your help.

I have been having some trouble the past couple of days with GMail's SMTP
server. I get the spinning doodad (sorry, don't know the real name) while
it tries to send and it'll come up and ask for my password, which is
stored on my hard drive. I enter the password and about 2/3 of the time
will finally send.

I have had these problems with Alpine, haven't used any other client in
days.

# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Alpine uses
sendmail.

In the From address in PINE/ALPINE use the correct email address from that
gmail account.

This is my setting:

smtp.gmail.com/submit/tls/user=user...@gmail.com

I hope this works for you too.

For receiving (in Setup=>CollectionLists interface) I use

Server: imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=user...@gmail.com

and for sending (in the Setup=>Config interface, also accessible through the .pinerc) I use

smtp-server: smtp.gmail.com:587/tls/user=user...@gmail.com

Occasionally Alpine has trouble reaching Google's servers, but for the most part this has worked flawlessly for a number of years.

i also set this and i can send already but the main problem is, the account li used is the account which registered as sender and if the client respond, all their replies is directed to that account not on the account of their own... so all messages is now intact with the a single gmail account...
