Alpine

Allmänt

Alpine är en populär e-post-klient som främst används från Linux-system vid DSV. Alpine hette tidigare Pine men bytte namn under 2008. Alpine använder som standard IMAP-protokollet för att läsa inkomna e-brev till DSV:s e-postserver.

Alpine är semigrafiskt och fungerar i ett vanligt terminalfönster. Kommandon i Alpine är enstaka bokstäver eller tecken som C, D, R, ; osv och kommandona visas längst ner i Alpine-fönstret.

Alpine - flytta INBOX

Inkommande e-brev kommer till DSV:s e-postserver. Alpine läser sedan breven med IMAP-protokollet men sparar e-breven på servern tills man säger att dom ska tas bort eller flyttas till en annan mapp. Ifall man har många e-brev i sin INBOX-mapp och vill flytta alla dessa e-brev till en annan mapp så gör man på följande sätt:

1. Using Alpine, go to one of your folders and view the Message Index (list of messages in the folder)
2. Press /;/ (the semi-colon key to activate the Select command)
3. At the SELECT criteria: prompt, press A (select All)
4. Press /A/ (Apply)
5. At the APPLY command: prompt, press /S/ (Save)
6. At the SAVE __ msgs to folder in <Mail> [saved-messages] : prompt, hold the Ctrl key and press /N/ (CTRL-N=Next Collection)
7. At the SAVE to folder in <Mail on username.inbox.ema> [saved-messages] : prompt, type the name of the folder and press Enter (NOTE: the new folder does not need to have the same name as the existing folder)
8. At the Folder "FOLDERNAME" in <Mail on username...> doesn't exist. Create? prompt, press /Y/ (Yes, to create the folder on the system) NOTE: wait a few seconds for the [Busy <|> ] message to go away and the [__ messages saved and deleted] message to appear on the screen.
9. After the messages have been moved, press the /comma/ key (which does the same thing as the less-than key) to return to the Folder List
10. With the highlight still on the name of the folder just moved, press /D/ (Delete)
11. At the DELETE "FOLDERNAME" (the currently open folder)? prompt, press /Y/ (Yes)
12. Repeat all the above steps for each folder you want to move (Make sure you are looking at the list of messages in a folder, NOT the list of folder names when you begin again.)

For your convenience, below is a summary of the keystrokes for the steps listed above once you are looking at the Message Index (list of messages in the folder)

• /; A A S CTRL-N / (semi-colon A A S Ctrl-N)
• Type the new folder name and press Enter, then /Y/ (wait a few seconds)
• /, D Y / (comma D Y)
