If you want bi-directional synchronisation between two IMAP servers you'll need to use something like isync: http://isync.sourceforge.net/ and, of course, the second IMAP server needs to be capable of correctly handling the SEARCH function. ... > I then should create a second Alpine instance, with different > configuration file, to use the filter.

Yes, alpine will take the config file to use as a command line argument: -p config-file Use config-file as the personal configuration file instead of the default .pinerc. so you can set up a specific configuration file -- .pinerc-gmx -- for this particular case and then set up a shell function or shell script for ease of use. Something simple like: alpine-gmx () { alpine -p ~/.pinerc-gmx "$@"; } as a shell function should suffice. This might seem a little crude and basic. However I suspect it'll be easier than getting two separate IMAP servers synchronised. -- Dennis Davis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Alpine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info
