- | \\ | ||
- | Here you can find some brief guidelines about setting your e-mail clients.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== OUTLOOK EXPRESS ===== | ||
- | To use SISSA e-mail services using Outlook Express, please read the instructions on the page:\\ | ||
- | [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_clients:outlook_express:configuration|SISSA e-mail services using Outlook Express ]] | ||
- | |||
- | ---- | ||
- | ===== EVOLUTION Mail===== | ||
- | To use SISSA e-mail services using Evolution Mail, please read the instructions on the page:\\ | ||
- | [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_clients:evolution:configuration|SISSA e-mail services using Evolution Mail]] | ||
- | |||
- | ---- | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Mail on Mac (leopard) ===== | ||
- | To use SISSA e-mail services using Mail on Mac (leopard), please read the instructions on the page:\\ | ||
- | [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_clients:mac-mail:leopard:configuration-leopard|SISSA e-mail services using Mail on Mac (leopard)]] | ||
- | |||
- | ---- | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== ALPINE USERS ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Alpine will be forced to read e-mail using IMAP. So the first time alpine will ask you //**your SISSA username**// and //**your SISSA password**// and if you wish to "Preserve password on DISK for next login?" answer "**Y**" if you want to save it (encrypted) so you will not have to enter your password anymore using Alpine. Your password, encrypted, will be put in the file **.alpine.passfile** in your home directory. | ||
- | |||
- | Since [[http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/info/alpine.html|Alpine 2.10]], a personal SMIME certificate is used to [[http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/info/encryptpwd.html|encrypt the password file]]. Alpine will ask the user to create a ''master password'', which will unlock access to the password file in future access during the same Alpine session. | ||
- | |||
- | To avoid being asked to enter the ''master password'' every time you start Alpine, while not recommended, you can create a SMIME certificate //without// any private key's password: | ||
- | |||
- | <code> | ||
- | mkdir -p $HOME/.alpine-smime/public $HOME/.alpine-smime/.pwd $HOME/.alpine-smime/private $HOME/.alpine-smime/ca | ||
- | |||
- | openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout $HOME/.alpine-smime/.pwd/MasterPassword.key -out $HOME/.alpine-smime/.pwd/MasterPassword.crt -days 10000 -nodes -subj "/C=IT/ST=Friuli Venezia Giulia/L=Trieste/O=SISSA/CN=$USER/emailAddress=${USER}@sissa.it" | ||
- | |||
- | touch $HOME/.alpine.passfile | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | \\ | ||
- | === To see the e-mails in a folder: === | ||
- | |||
- | * select the folder using the arrows (for example //Sent// ); | ||
- | * type **<ENTER>**. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | === To see the contents of hierarchical folders: === | ||
- | |||
- | * select the folder using the arrows (for example //pippo[.]//); | ||
- | * type " **>** " (and NOT **<ENTER>** !!!); | ||
- | * then you can see the e-mails inside it and its sub-folders names. | ||
- | |||
- | To return to a higher level folder press the " **<** " key. | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | === To create new folders: === | ||
- | |||
- | * type " **L** " (ListFldrs) then type " **a** " (add); | ||
- | * alpine will ask you the **//new_foldername//**. | ||
- | If you now want a new sub-folder inside an existing folder (for example //pluto//), you have to type //pluto.newsubfoldername//\\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Do not try to move a lot of e-mails (or a folder or a subfolder) using alpine, because you can move one e-mail at a time.\\ | ||
- | We suggest to use a grafic e-mail client (such as thuderbird, mozilla-mail....it depends on the software | ||
- | installed in your pc).\\ | ||
- | Using drag&drop (with the mouse) you can move the selected subfolder where do you prefer and it easy to move | ||
- | a group of selected mails in another place. \\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | |||
- | ===To display/hide the complete header=== | ||
- | To display/hide the complete header of an e-mail press " **h** ".\\ | ||
