Good afternoon,

Hello,

Where do I enter my pop server stuff and user name and password. I only found the smtp stuff. How do I navigate the setup questions?
Thanks for your help.

Use Fetchmail to get the mail from your pop server to your computer. The easiest way to use fetchmail is to write a configuration file called .fetchmailrc which you put in your home directory. Type man fetchmailrc to learn how to write it.

I will. Thanks for all the help. I will have to get back to you maybe some time early next week since I have two tests coming up and I need to study. And I have a lot of homework! :-( Also I am going to be out of town for a night.

Anyway I'll have to get that done. But once thats out of the way I'll look at this.

Once again thanks for all this information.


With regard to the Alpine configuration, you move with your up and down arrows and read the instructions at the bottom of the screen. If you, for example, are required to type in something like the name of your smtp server, your hit "c" for change which will put your cursor in the input field. Finish off with <enter>.

Do I just type in smtp.gmail.com?

Do I use sendmail? where do I tell alpine to use fetchmail? And re the instructions at the bottom of the screen. Are they right at the bottom? Like under everything else so I just hold numb 9 to get there? (I'm using speakup)

Thanks for the help.
