et all.
My final question is:
how do you map the trash folder in Alpine?
Right now when I delete an email, it perm deletes it, instead of moving
it to Fastmail's trash folder.
Thanks,
Chris
What you need to differentiate, are operations within your fastmail mail
storage, and, operations applicable to your local folders.
To perform an operation at an email hosting facility, I believe that you
need to use a webmail facility, for example, if fastmail uses horde or
squirrel or something (although, I primarily use Tbird as a webmail
application, which lets me work between email hosting folders, and,
Tbird local folders. So, I use Tbird to filter out some junkmail, saving
it to a junk folder, at my email hosting, so avoiding downloading it,
when I use alpine to download my email to my local computer.
The thing with such filtering, if you want to use your email provider's
junk storage, is that you need to use (run) whatever webmail application
- whether it is one on your local computer, or, one provided by your
email provider, each time that you want the filtering performed, as the
filters are stored in the particular application.
If you want alpine to filter junk into a junk folder, then, you create
the junk folder, on your local computer, using alpine, when you create
the filter, and, save the messages to that, using alpine.
I have somewhere around 10-20 junk folders, that I run multiple filters
to filter into those folders, and, IO run multiple filters to extract
some messages from the junk folders.
