Calmail alpine

Setting up Calmail IMAP server with pine/alpine

For machines in the Math Department, edit the inbox-path option in the .pinerc file in your home directory (username should be substituted with your actual user name on the Math systems):

inbox-path={calmail.berkeley.edu/user=username@math.berkeley.edu/tls/novalidate-cert}INBOX

Setting up outgoing SMTP server

For office and home machines, you'll also need the following change:

smtp-server=calmail.berkeley.edu:587/tls/user=username@math.berkeley.edu/novalidate-cert

Note: You will be prompted for your (new) CalMail password when start pine/alpine. On office and home machines, you will be prompted for the password once again at the moment you send your first outgoing message. Though it may look annoying, it is a security requirement of CailMail service.

Enabling incoming message folders

In pine/alpine terms incoming message folders are server-stored mailboxes other than default INBOX, e.g. Drafts, Sent, Trash, etc. In order to have access to incoming folders, edit the feature-list option in the .pinerc file as follows:

feature-list=enable-incoming-folders
