I am using Alpine 1.10 on Windows.

I use IMAP to pull my mail. Getting mail works fine. I am unable to
send mail. I get:

[Mail not sent: <my email address>: Recipient address rejected: Access
denied]

I looked for outgoing mail server credentials setup. There is nothing
about authentication. I also run Thunderbird on the same PC. TB lets
me provide authentication information. So I figure it must be there in
Alpine also. But I have gone over the setup a dozen times and still
can't find it.

Any clues are appreciated.

In the smtp-server setting you must specify the information about your
server. If it requires authentication, you must add "/user=YourID" to
your server definition, for example

smtp-server=Your.SMTP-Server.com/user=YourID

Notice that some other options may be needed, like "/tls", etc., depending
on the server.
