Alpine sent mail / drafts setup

lmcilwain · 02-12-2012, 06:26 PM

hello all,

I am trying to set up Alpine for use at work and I am having a hard to getting it to pointing to the correct sent folder and drafts folder. Can anyone give me some insight into what I might be doing wrong?

What I have in my .pinerc file for those to settings are:

Code:

Sent Folder:
default-fcc={mail.server.com:993/user=username/ssl}SENT

Drafts:
postponed-folder={mail.server.com:993/user=username/ssl}DRAFTS

I am using IMAP and I those to folders are located inside of the mail directory of my mail account.

I have been banging my head all day trying to fix this so I am finally deciding to ask for help

Any help is greatly appreciated.

>> user=username

Don't use it, but the above doesn't look right; have a try with user=$username; no guarantees, but in the light of no other suggestions, it might be worth trying.
