None-the-less, it is difficult to help you without more information.

I am _disposed_ to help you out, though in my case you do not have to ascribe it to altruism. I owe this list big-time. But having no experience at all of Alpine, I am not in a position to help. I am sure however, that there are many on the list who do use/have used Alpine and will help. I am interested that you equate setting up Alpine with getting email working. They seem to me to be different things. Better luck with th enext person to reply, Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
