[Alpine-info] Role Folder Wildcard

[Zhang Long]

I set up incoming-folder collections according to this page:
http://staff.washington.edu/chappa/alpine/alpine-info/collections/incoming-folders/
I suppose you might have set up similarly. You have given each folder a 
nickname, haven't you?
Then in "Specific - Folder List =" form, you should put the 
folder's nickname in it. This works for me.

Nevertheless, I added port number after "imap.gmail.com" and 
"smtp.gmail.com". But since you can read mail successfully, I think it 
seems not a problem.
