I have a few questions: * How does one import *all* folders from the Dovecot server at once, without repeatedly typing in 192.168.100.2/ssl/user=slitt and all the rest of the process? * Is there a way of viewing my folder hierarchy hierarchically, including collapse and expand? * How does one manually expunge an email previously marked for deletion? I know it's possible because one config item is "*only* expunge manually." Is there a way of expunging ranges of emails? * How does one switch the sort order while in the folder list or the message list? * And most important, where can I find the best, most unambiguous Alpine documentation, that doesn't assume I know anything about Alpine?
