+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>

-With this configuration:
-<code>
-set hostname=sissa.it
-set folder=imaps://imap.sissa.it/
-set mail_check=30
-set mbox=imaps://imap.sissa.it/INBOX
-set certificate_file=~/.mutt_cert
-set record=imaps://imap.sissa.it/Sent
-set spoolfile=imaps://imap.sissa.it/INBOX
-</code>
-mutt will see folders AND sub-folders; when you run mutt you will see your INBOX e-mails and, to see the other folders, you must type " **c** " and then <TAB> to get a complete list. \\
-In this list the folders with a " **+** " character will be hierarchical folders.
-To visualize the e-mail inside the folders you have to type the <SPACE BAR> over the folder to access to it. You can access to the folder only if its name contains a " **+** ".
-To create a new folder press a " **C** " from the folder list display.
-To create the first subfolder (named for example //child//) of an already existing folder (named for example //parent//),\\
-you have to create it as //parent.child// \\
-When you access to the subfolder //child//, you can create other subfolders with their subfolder name only, without //parent.// \\
-Mutt will set the right path for you.
