Hi,
I want to use multiple smtp servers in alpine. I've set a main server via Setup->Configuration (see below) and added another imap Server via Setup->collectionLists. So reading mail is no problem, I can see the different servers / folders in the "Folder List" view (the added dots or slashes after the folder names are a minor problem...).
In order to send mail via the second server, I've added a rule via Setup->Rules->Roles, so when sending a message, the right smtp server corresponding to the folder where I'm in is chosen.
BUT alpine always postpones messages to the folder on the main server, even when the message is composed for the second server. The same applies for sent messages: they are always saved on the main server.
How do I tell alpine to save postponed/sent messages on the right server?
Current configuration:
Setup -> Configuration:
Personal Name = My Name
User Domain = <No Value Set>
SMTP Server (for sending) = smtp.server.tld:587/user=USERNAME/tls
NNTP Server (for news) = <No Value Set>
Inbox Path = {imap.server.tld:993/user=USERNAME/ssl}INBOX
Incoming Archive Folders = <No Value Set>
Pruned Folders = <No Value Set>
Default Fcc (File carbon copy) = {imap.server.tld:993/user=USERNAME/ssl}Sent
Default Saved Message Folder = <No Value Set: using "saved-messages">
Postponed Folder = {imap.server.tld:993/user=USERNAME/ssl}Drafts
Read Message Folder = <No Value Set>
Form Letter Folder = <No Value Set>
Trash Folder = {imap.server.tld:993/user=USERNAME/ssl}Trash
Literal Signature = <No Value Set>
Signature File = <No Value Set: using ".signature">
Feature List =
Setup->Rules->Roles
============ ACTIONS BEGIN HERE =============
Initialize settings using role : <No Value Set>
Set From = My name <my.name@2nd-server.tld>
Set Reply-To = <No Value Set>
Set Fcc = <No Value Set: using "value from fcc-name-rule">
Set LiteralSig = <No Value Set>
Set Signature = <No Value Set: using "default (.signature)">
Set Template = <No Value Set>
Set Other Hdrs = <No Value Set>
Use SMTP Server = smtp.2nd-server.tld:25/user=my.name@2nd-server.tld/tls
Use NNTP Server = <No Value Set>
Second question: How do I make use of the Trash folder? At present, mails marked for deletion are deleted completely when expunged. How do I move them to Trash folder instead? (of course in the trash folder on the right server...)
Any hints appreciated -- Thanks!
