Setting up Alpine email client

To use alpine to access the IMAP mail of twentytwo.town, there are a

few settings in the file .pinerc required, replace (username) by your

user on the host.

personal-name=Your Name (this is optional, if you don't want to put a name, its fine)
user-domain=twentytwo.town
smtp-server=smtp.migadu.com:465/ssl/user=(username)@twentytwo.town
inbox-path={imap.migadu.com/ssl/user=(username)@twentytwo.town}inbox

When starting alpine, the program will ask for an account password,

this is the one listed in the file ~/mail.txt. To encrypt the saved

password, you can use another password (probably a simpler one) that

has to be entered each time when the program is started.

With the settings sending and receiving mails should work.

To address users on twentytwo.town, using the plain username is

enough, e.g. you can send a mail with "alpine alexlehm" to address me.
