[Alpine-info] Alpine - multiple accounts: Age Interval syntax, retaining flagged messages, sending with AOL?

[James Freer]

Having spent a few days experimenting i certainly like Alpine. However
there are still a couple of things i'd like to do and sort out.

a] In Thunderbird and Seamonkey for 'lists' it is useful to be able to
set an auto delete i.e. delete messages after say 90 days. Reading on
the UW website the command for Alpine is Age Interval (min, max) - i'd
assume to enter in the .pinerc under patterns... about line 500
patterns-other ? i'm not sure on the syntax required. Together with
auto delete it is useful to be able to flag messages for retaining.
I'm sure both are possible but i'm not sure how.

b] I've set my 4 email imap accounts up [2 gmail and 2 aol] and so far
all works as it should do but with AOL a copy isn't put in the Sent
folder. Obviously Alpine is working fine but somehow aol? Is aol a bit
buggy? I've checked the settings - the gmail accounts seem fine.

thanks
