Hi folks,
We have a member of the greater Toronto Linux Users group, who rather
enjoys setting up email accounts,hosting allot of them personally.
He is new to alpine though, our test of roundcube was almost, but not quite
successful due to sloppy JavaScript coding on the send button.
where he is stuck at the moment is how to get alpine to display imap things
like the sent mail folder int he folders list.
Dreamhost is having the same problem with some of our new office email
accounts.
is there a specific imap server config file, or a choice from the main
settings s, config c options?
Also, what about the imap aspect of certificates? I recall there is a new
way to create the aph thing google requires.
Thanks for ideas.

Are you using mbox or Maildir? And is inbox in /home or /var/spool/mail?
I have this working with dovecot. Maildir with INBOX in /home.
I'll look up the config but it will probably be Saturday. I vaguely
recall having ti tweak something in the dovecot configs.
