.alpine.passfile rather than .pine-passfile.

Run
strace alpine 2>/tmp/a
and then search /tmp/a for passfile to see what the name it is looking for you your system.
Of course if not compiled with the option none of this will work.

I assume this alpine does not have this feature.

Some packages out there contain binaries which are not compiled with this option.

Creating ‘.pine-passfile’ in home (not the ‘mail’ sub folder) worked as described.

Thanks

I use alpine ver. 2.00 in archlinux. and there’s no information about password-file in “man alpine” to verify if the filename is the same in this version or not. Some idea??? thx..

It seems the slackware people were simply making up an acronym, although you could certainly ask on the alpine-info mailing list.
