Carlos,
Thank you for this. I have no idea how alpine can be used for different email
accounts and how different passwords can be
saved.
Can you direct me to information that shows how this can be done? It would be
very useful. Some of the blind users have gone
to gmx.com but their support of application specific passwords is intermittent,
I guess this is because they require a payment
to have it work while gmail application specific password access is provided
without cost.
How can I use alpine with different accounts?
Thanks for your help.

I use the free gmx service. Their support is quite dumb, though. I only
have one password with gmx.es
I don't have documentation on how to do it in Alpine. I just implemented
it over the years.
The basic trick is: use "roles".
For sending, I have configured the system "postfix" to handle sending for
several accounts. This is not trivial, but you need this:
# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Pine uses sendmail.
smtp-server=localhost
Other people do that differently, and hopefully, easier.
Let me check my alpine config file, for receiving and compossing.

The above is difficult or impossible to parse for a human. Instead, you
set "roles" in setup / rules / roles:
(R) Rules:
This has up to six sub-categories: Roles, Index Colors, Filters,
SetScores, Search, and Other. If the Index Colors option is
missing you may turn it on (if possible) with Setup/Kolor.
If Roles is missing it has probably been administratively disabled.
You get a long display page. I copy mine for gmx here, enclosed between lines
