((re-)al)pine was my favourite email client some decades ago,
especially college/university 1997 into '0s. Then I preferred
ThunderBird, but I like (re-)alpine most for command-line (is it
still re-alpine or back to alpine?). Recent decades it was impossible
to use at first because maybe had to send mail to the developers to
notify people still use it, and for a time that never went through...
don't know if there's some other similar configuration thing I have
to do to start using it right on OpenBSD...
There is not a lot of information in your post to give you a
meaningful answer.
More so the case for manpage, which doesn't say 'tcp' so don't know what
command below does (okay, now saw it mentioned in
/usr/local/share/doc/alpine/tech-notes.txt).
First, make sure you are using the latest version of Alpine, if not,
upgrade to version 2.26, and reproduce the problem.
OpenBSD UNIX 7.7 (64-bit n64) 'Alpine 2.26 (BSO 649 2022-06-02) built
Wed Apr 9 13:06:04 MDT 2025 on amd64-1.ports.openbsd.org'
To get meaningful debug, please do as follows. Press M S C and make sure
you have enabled
[X] Enable Verbose SMTP Posting
then quit alpine and restart - the latest version - with the command
alpine -d tcp,imap=4
I'm only using shell mail (implied, localhost maildir, SMTP) not IMAP
and will use POP3 at home.
reproduce the problem, quit alpine and take a look at the file
.pine-debug1. It will tell you about the problem. If you need help
reading it, let me know.
How many hours should I wait for it saying sending 0% before I kill
screen/SSH, but if I do (even for an hour) seems it won't write debug log?
