Dumb question:  Is Alpine able to retreive mail from multiple servers?

I have the idea from several years ago that one has to use an external
"getmail" for pine; pc-pine had to do its own get mail.

The reason I ask is that I am getting certification/authorization errors
from the school ms exhange server (think they did something as wasn't
needed "before").  I was able to get around the problem in linux by leaving
out the pop3 as in pop3.mail.school.edu; I get some warnings/errors but
it does/did work.  Forgot, I am using fetchmail to get my mail from 2
places.

I used the "NoValidation-Cert" in pc-Alpine but that doesn't work with
fetchmail; the fetchmail man doesn't say how to get around/ignore the
validation certification.

Yes. I'm currently using Alpine with three IMAP servers and one POP3
server.

If you want everything in the same inbox you need getmail/fetchmail
but not if you're happy with having several inboxes.

On 26 Jun 2008 david read the comp.mail.pine post of Niklaus Kuehnis,
which stated...

Okay, I'd like to take the plunge too. I use PC-Alpine and have several
icons on my desktop, each using a different pinerc file. I would really
enjoy having Alpine and multiple inboxes... Can you please point me to a
website or whatever to get me started down this road? I'm not asking for
a tutorial here... just an idea of where to find a sample so I can work
with it.
thanks,

I only know Linux Alpine but PC-Alpine is probably very similar.

For multiple inboxes use
  [X] enable-incoming-folders. See
http://staff.washington.edu/chappa/pine/pine-info/collections/incomin...

For POP3, IMO a maildrop works best. See
http://staff.washington.edu/chappa/pine/pine-info/maildrop/index.html
Set the destination server to <empty value> to save mail on the local machine.
I use a custom file in my (Linux) home directory as inbox.

HTH,
Niklaus
