I am running dovecot 2.0-0.10.beta6.20100630.el6.x86_64. Now this is new to me that you can call a dovecot-imap binary from alpine but how and where does this setting go is a question for me now. I will try going through pine.conf. Thanks for your advice. ~UG On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 2:11 AM, Timo Sirainen <t...@iki.fi> wrote: > On 5.5.2011, at 23.43, upen wrote: > >> If maildir support in alpine does not work like it does for mbox then >> I'll have to configure IMAP setings in pine.conf for alpine users.
