----- 
-\\ 
-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** ".\\
