Nato nel 1989 all'Università di Washington in Seattle, installabile sia su Unix che su Windows, è estremamente flessibile e può essere configurato a piacere dall'utente.
Alpine è un programma con interfaccia testuale (non grafica) che permette di gestire velocemente, anche grazie ai comodi comandi da tastiera, grandi quantità di messaggi.
apt-get install alpine
Pine (a Program for Internet News & Email) è un software a marchio registrato, mentre Alpine viene distribuito con licenza Apache 2.0. Entrambi sono stati sviluppati dallo stesso team della University of Washington che ha inventato il protocollo IMAP, ed è quindi ideale per l’accesso a caselle IMAP. Da pochi giorni Gmail, il servizio email gratuito di Google, ha reso disponibile l’accesso IMAP a tutte le sue caselle. E’ possibile quindi, dopo aver attivato l’accesso IMAP sulla nostra casella Gmail, configurare Alpine per utilizzarle.
Per fare questo, occorre configurare una nuova Collectionlist, cioè un nuovo gruppo di cartelle.
1. Aprire il menù principale (tasto M)
2. Setup (tasto S)
3. collectionLists (tasto L)
4. Add (tasto A)
5. in Nickname inserire il nome che vogliamo utilizzare per il gruppo, ad esempio Gmail
6. in Server, inserire la stringa
imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=nomeutente@gmail.com
(nomutente deve ovviamente essere sostituito col proprio nome utente Gmail)
(se si utilizza Google Apps per il proprio dominio, gmail.com va sostituito con il nome di questo dominio)
7. Salvare e uscire con CTRL+x
8. A questo punto il programma, dopo aver chiesto la password dell’account Gmail, accederà al server.
9. Uscire dal Setup con il tasto E
10. Aprire il nuovo gruppo di cartelle dal menù principale -> Folder list -> Gmail
Compariranno tutte le cartelle standard, compresa la INBOX e, se abbiamo creato delle etichette, anche una cartella per ognuna di queste.
For added convenience, we now include packages for the two main styles of packaging systems, the RedHat/Fedora RPM-style packaging system, and the Debian dpkg-style system. Likewise, the scripts to build these packages and instructions on how to use them are included in the pine distribution under the packages directory.
The RPM packages will likely work across the most recent versions of RedHat and Fedora, with a good chance of also working on Mandrake or SuSE, which also use the RPM system.
Failing all else, you can still download and build Pine as you would on any other Unix system.
Downloads available:
RedHat/Fedora RPM package built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3
pine-4.64-1.i386.rpm, binary package MD5: 78cb63eb00769c4390d71a5d725caff2 pine-4.64-1.src.rpm, source package MD5: 5c5122e256acb8302e76d8f83f7f11ad RPM installation instructions
Debian .deb package built on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
pine_4.64_i386.deb package MD5: 4cdc6c60dbe8e47829189194b8cbd99a .deb installation instructionsThese packages include Pine, Pico, and other smaller programs that are also part of a standard pine build. UW-Imapd, which is also part of a standard Pine build, is a program of which it is recommended to have a better understanding, and is thus not included in these Pine packages.
Installing RPMs
For most cases, it should be enough simply to grab the first binary package and run the following command:
rpm -ivh pine-4.64-1.i386.rpm
This installation should succeed on most recent RedHat and Fedora systems, and will likely succeed on recent Mandrake systems as well. Other useful rpm commands include:
rpm -Uvh pine-4.64-1.i386.rpm
to upgrade an existing pine installation, and
rpm -e pine
to uninstall an existing pine installation.
If installing the binary RPM fails, you will quite likely succeed by installing from the source RPM. You can build from source RPM either by installing the RPM as you would the binary one, building it using the pine.spec file that gets put in the SPECS directory, or by running the command
rpmbuild --rebuild pine-4.64-1.i386.src.rpm
Both of these methods require having sufficient permissions to build in the source directory; consult the instructions for building using spec files in packages/README to better understand how to do this.
Installing .debs
To install the .deb package, the following command should suffice:
dpkg -i pine_4.64_i386.deb
Uninstalling the package can be done by running the command
dpkg -r pine
Pine Mirror sites
Sites mirroring the UW anonymous FTP server (ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/) provide Pine software to users around the world. These sites should contain the latest version of Pine, as found on the University of Washington's server. Contact the mirror site maintainers directly for questions about their site.
