NAME

SYNTAX

9       rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Rpload  may  be  used  to  convert  local Alpine configuration files or
13       address books into remote  configurations  or  address  books.   It  is
14       intended  to  be  used  by system administrators.  Regular users should
15       normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
16
17       Local_file will usually be a  user's  alpine  configuration  file,  and
18       Remote_folder  is  the IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of
19       Alpine's -p, -P, and -x commands  or  PINECONF,  PINERC,  and  PINERCEX
20       environment  variables)  as  the user's remote configuration folder.  A
21       copy of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header
22       lines to satisfy Alpine.
23
24       -f                  Force  the load even if the remote folder is in the
25                           wrong format.  This will delete the contents of the
26                           folder so use it carefully.
27
28       -s trimSize         If  the  number of messages in the remote folder is
29                           more than one plus trimsize (one is for the  header
30                           message),  then  messages  2,  3, and so on will be
31                           deleted until there are only one plus trimsize mes‐
32                           sages  left.  If this option is not set no trimming
33                           will be done.
34
35       -t Type             The possible Types  are  pinerc,  abook,  and  sig.
36                           (Sig  is  mostly  obsolete. Literal signatures con‐
37                           tained within the  remote  pinerc  should  be  used
38                           instead.)
39
40       -l Local_file       The file on this system that is to be copied.
41
42       -r Remote_folder    A  remote  folder  name  to  be copied to.  See the
43                           Alpine documentation for the  syntax  of  a  remote
44                           folder name.  One example is
45                           {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
