how to retrieve hotmail using Alpine? I can get gmail using the IMAP feature and having the Gmail certificates but I'l like to be able to get my hotmail without opening a web browser. I have one friend with whom I communicate via Pidgin/MSN messenger, that's why I opened the hotmail account - and sometimes she sends me an email to hotmail because that's her primary email service.
I have a lot of emails on hotmail and gmail that I want to store in text or html files on my local Fedora computer for future reference. Is there a way I can download them to my hard drive without doing it one email at a time with the browser's Save Page As feature or some such thing? There has to (?) be a better way.
Every mail program should have an easy-to-use 'mass' export-to-text-file feature so that people are not held hostage to a particular email service or program. The lack of such a feature in email programs I've used is one of my pet peeves. It seems rather tyrannical and abusive. (Now before someone tells me it's a free service, please remember all the advertisements I have to go through to use the service). I do not have an email account through an ISP. I live with my landlord who deals with the ISP. I only use hotmail and gmail (and, rarely, yahoo).
Yesterday I tried to use KMail with my hotmail account. First mistake I made was not to check "Leave fetched messages on the server". The obvious result of that was that I had empty hotmail (web) account. I've found this but its for Thunderbird to upload your messages back on to the server. If I can put all my messages back into hotmail server that would be great. Since I do use web account as well. KMail is only on my home PC.
How to configure my home linux server, as an email server, and be able to send email to hotmail, please?. I have done this before, but I never managed to do it so hotmail accept emails coming from my linux server.
I'm trying to set up Getmail with Alpine. This is because I have a pop mail account, and I want to be able to recieve and reply to mail without beeing online.
My question is what to type under the [destination] paragraph. I don't know what type mailbox Alpine uses and where the INBOX is located, that is where Getmail should deliver the mail?
For the last week alpine has been refusing to load a remote config files using the command alpine -z -p {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=username@gmail.com}remote_pinercit just ignores the -p flagbut will work if alpinef is used (alpinef calls alpine set to use function keys for issuing commands).
I'm running Evolution 2.30.3 on fc13.x64 and I've been getting a funny problem for a while, that now really annoys me:
even if the settings for my hotmail account are correct, Evolution will ask for the password every time I log in. Also, since I keep it open, after a while (~30 minutes) it "forgets" somehow the password and asks for the password again. This time, anyway, it won't work and I have to reset Evolution again.
Bonus question: even if hotmail is configured correctly for receiving and sending (smtp.live.com etc.), it won't send email, but will remain stuck on "sending".
I just configured alpine to read newsgroups, and I subscribed to comp.lang.c. Upon opening the folder, alpine downloaded 89,463 messages and it seems like I have no control over this. Does anyone know of a maximum header download option in alpine?
This is a simple question, but I cannot find the option: how do I set signatures to always appear at the very bottom of the message (i.e. with replies it appears above the other replies) automatically? This is on Alpine 2.
In my gmail a/c I have severel folders.....each with different label.while I configured alpine, I give the path as directed in several know-how in internet and only INBOX is there, with sent mail and saved mails.....no other folders.

Yum cannot seem to reach any repository. Firefox was fixed by going to about:config and changing network. dns. disableIPv6 = TRUE .Can anyone who has this same problem with a FRESH install of Fedora 11 please confirm that static assignments in the hosts file fixes the issue.
I did preupgrade from fc9 to fc11. I encountered with "an internal system error has occurred". It is keep on bugging even after closed. The details are as follows:

I'm getting the following error when I try to install anything with yum: Code: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again. I tried editing /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo, and also amending the host file as explained in this fix. [URL]. Still doesn't work. I am behind a proxy.
i am trying to get fc12 up and running. have spent a lot of time reading posts about similar problems, but so far haven't found the right answer. this is what i get when i try to run yum update:

we had a server with Hostway, and it was running ubuntu. The server also had Plesk installed, which did some funny things. We had several websites on that server, and many email addresses. Then we changed servers. Now we have a server through Rackspace and it is also running Ubuntu. It also has Virtualmin installed, which generally does not impose as many unconventional changes on Ubuntu as Plesk did.
Rather than using Thunderbird to download my email (which is what I used to do) I've decided I'll start reading my email on the server. So I will ssh to the server and then use some email client, such as Alpine, to read the email. So I installed Alpine. I have an email account for "lawrence". The email address is lawrence @ krubner. Currently, when mail arrives for that account, it is stored here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it is transferred to hear:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
When I start Alpine, while logged in as lawrence, Alpine automatically sets up an inbox for me here:
/home/lawrence/mail/
How do I get Alpine (or any other client) to read from the correct folder? I'm fairly sure the email package (the MTA) at work on this new server is Postfix. As near as I can tell, my email is held for 24 hours in this folder:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it gets transferred here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
Alpine only lets me set one path for my Inbox, so I'm not sure what path I should set. If I use "cur" I will see all email 1 day late, but if I use "new" then I will miss email if I go a day without checking.
