 ====== Email Clients Setup Guidelines ======
-Here you can find some brief guidelines about setting your email clients.
-===== ALPINE =====
+Here you can find some brief guidelines about setting your email clients. When a ''username'' and a ''password'' are requested, use your SISSA credentials. The username **MUST** be always followed by **@sissa.it** domain.
-Alpine will be forced to read e-mail using IMAP. So the first time Alpine will ask for your SISSA **username** and **password**. If you wish to save the password, to avoid to enter it every time you run Alpine, answer  "**Y**" to question ''Preserve password on DISK for next login?''. Your password will be **encrypted** and saved 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.
+==== Mobile device ====
-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:
