Hello group...
Tried alpine. Runs ok, looks like pine. But reports "cannot open inbox quine". After .pinerc modification it opens an INBOX but it is not my normal INBOX. Here is what I did..
1. It runs
2. It will not open INBOX. All my other folders seem to be fine.
3. I made changes to my (existing) .pinerc as suggested by alpine_help.sh
4. INBOX now opens but with 1 very old message. All my normal INBOX stuff is gone.
5. Tried logging into oldshell.sonic.net and ran pine. Got same broken INBOX as in #4
6. Quit pine, changed my .pinerc back to the way it was before #3 and ran pine again. INBOX now back to normal.
So... How do I really modify my .pinerc so that alpine points to the same INBOX as pine does on the old shell when my original .pinerc is in place? Changing .pinerc is fine with me, but the changes suggested by alpine_help.sh do not seem to work. Here is what alpine_help.sh told me to do...
.
* set your inbox-path, like this:
inbox-path={imap.sonic.net:993/ssl/user=quine}
* set your folder-collections like this:
folder-collections={imap.sonic.net:993/ssl/user=quine}INBOX.[]
I added above to existing .pinerc and commented out the existing lines.
