I ran make and it gave a lot of warnings but no fatal error.<\/p>\n<p>I found a note that instead of copying the binaries manually, you may use<br \/>\nmake install<br \/>\nto install them. that worked. Awesome.<\/p>\n<p>then I followed this thread:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"4EL8u1cSVe\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/kmandla.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/12\/in-the-end-alpine-was-just-easier\/\">In the end, alpine was just&nbsp;easier<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;In the end, alpine was just&nbsp;easier&#8221; &#8212; Motho ke motho ka botho\" src=\"https:\/\/kmandla.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/12\/in-the-end-alpine-was-just-easier\/embed\/#?secret=nE97n81MKY#?secret=4EL8u1cSVe\" data-secret=\"4EL8u1cSVe\" width=\"450\" height=\"254\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Start Alpine, and go to the configurations page with M-S-C. Page down until you see \u201cEnable Incoming Folders Collection.\u201d Press return to select it, then E to exit and Q to quit. Restart alpine.<\/p>\n<p>Press L for the folder list. Highlight \u201cIncoming-Folders\u201d and press return. Press A for a new folder.<\/p>\n<p>When asked for the name of the server to contain the added folder, enter this for a GMail account.<br \/>\nimap.gmail.com\/ssl\/user=ACCOUNT_NAME@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p>At the \u201cFolder on \u2018imap.gmail.com\/ssl\/use\u2026\u2019 to add:\u201d prompt, enter \u201cInbox\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For the \u201cNickname for folder \u2018Inbox&#8217;:\u201d, enter whatever you want to call the folder locally. I called mine ACCOUNT_NAME@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p>When you press return you\u2019ll be prompted for your password, or given an warning screen about certificates and asked for permission to continue. Enter yes, or your password or both, as needed.<\/p>\n<p>But then following other recommendations, I edited my alpine config as follow<br \/>\nuser domain:<br \/>\nsmtp server: &#8220;smtp.gmail.com\/user=username@gmail.com\/ssl\/novalidate-cert&#8221;<br \/>\nInbox path: &#8220;pop.gmail.com\/POP3\/SSL\/novalidate-cert\/user=username@gmail.com&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I modified read message folder so Alpine would save the emails when I had read them &#8211; otherwise they disappeared from my Alpine inbox.<\/p>\n<p>enable incoming folders collection is set<br \/>\nI changed customized header<br \/>\nand I selected don&#8217;t rename don&#8217;t delete so Alpine would not ask me to move my messages to a folder every month.<\/p>\n<p>at the terminal I ran touch so Alpine would remember Password<br \/>\nNow if you want that your password should be saved on your computer (dont worry its totally safe) , then open the terminal and if you are in your home directory then give the following command<\/p>\n<p>touch .pine-passfile<\/p>\n<p>When I tried to read email from gmail the connection failed. It turns out that gmail default setting would not allow for Alpine to read the email, and there was a message with instructions on how to change this security setting.<br \/>\nAfter that I was able to read emails from Alpine and save them on my mac.<\/p>\n<p>I think there is a setting that deletes email from gmail as Alpine accesses them. I have not set it to that yet.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it I think. I hope this may help someone else, or at least give a sense of what is involved.<\/p>\n<p>The one problem is that emails disappeared from the inbox if I did not save them before going to another box, sentbox etc. But since all the emails stayed on the gmail server and could be accessed there, they are not completely lost.<\/p>\n<p>The other option is to use imap<\/p>\n<p>{imap.gmail.com\/ssl\/novalidate-cert\/user=username@gmail.com}Inbox<\/p>\n<p>What happens then is that gmail and the local inbox look exactly the same, same read or unread messages. But when I go to save I get a message has shrunk on every file.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It can be done, my mac has OSX 10.9.5 and it has xcode installed and I use iterm.
