Pine, Alpine and ELinks
Hello. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5. I am completely new to UNIX and also to command line. I'm trying to setup an email client and a web browser.
Google told me Pine was a good idea for email, so I got Pine. I thought it would be like other email clients, like Thunderbird, so that I can use IMAP with my Gmail account. But it doesn't look like that. When I send messages, they are from <myname>@r074177.fna.swh.mhn.de.
1) How did I get that email address? Is it mine forever? Will it change if I move to another country?
2) I want to set up IMAP/POP my Gmail account on Pine. Is that possible?
3) I also downloaded Alpine. But I only got a file called 'alpine-bin.osx-10.5' with no extension. What should I do with that file?
4) I have also downloaded ELinks <http://elinks.or.cz/download.html> and I got a folder with lots of files and I don't know how to install..
Help me! Or are there tutorials on things like these?

I've just installed Alpine on Snow Leopard but can't seem to get a default spell checker configured for it. What happened to spell? I can't find it at all on 10.6, must have been some changes. Does anyone know about the default unix spell checker on SL? Thanks! (0 Replies)

rpload
rpload(1) General Commands Manual rpload(1)
NAME
rpload - pine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpload may be used to convert local Pine configuration files or address books into remote configurations or address books. It is intended
to be used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Pine.
Local_file will usually be a user's pine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of
Pine's -p, -P, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder. A copy
of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Pine.
-f Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format. This will delete the contents of the folder so use it
carefully.
-s trimSize If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is for the header message), then
messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left. If this option is not
set no trimming will be done.
-t Type The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig. (Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote
pinerc should be used instead.)
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied to. See the Pine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One example
is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
