Alpine

Alpine is another CLI based email client. Useful for ssh sessions, but command line utilities are neat in general. Very fast.

sudo pacman -S alpine abs

Install with support for remembering passwords

sudo abs extra/re-alpine
sudo mkdir /home/ABS
sudo chown will:will /home/ABS

cp -R /var/abs/extra/re-alpine /home/ABS
cd /home/ABS
sudo chown -R will:will re-alpine
cd re-alpine

edit PKGBUILD and change --without-passfile to --with-passfile=.pine-passfile

makepkg -s
