Thanks Steffen,
I installed Alpine and got it to work as a window to my Dovecot IMAP server, but I could only "import" one mailbox at a time, and as I mentioned earlier:
[slitt@mydesk ~]$ find /home/slitt/mail/Maildir -type d | wc -l 1254 [slitt@mydesk ~]$
These mailboxes are several levels deep, such as: .OLDFOLDERS.in.2012. I have a few questions:
How does one import *all* folders from the Dovecot server at once, without repeatedly typing in 192.168.100.2/ssl/user=slitt and all the rest of the process?
Is there a way of viewing my folder hierarchy hierarchically, including collapse and expand?
How does one manually expunge an email previously marked for deletion? I know it's possible because one config item is "*only* expunge manually." Is there a way of expunging ranges of emails?
How does one switch the sort order while in the folder list or the message list?
And most important, where can I find the best, most unambiguous Alpine documentation, that doesn't assume I know anything about Alpine?
Thanks,
SteveT
