Used PINE ages ago, totally forgot about it. Thanks so much for this. Btw, not sure why but had the silent halting error in apt-get/FAPman. Nothing aptitude couldn't fix, but still strange for devel app.

trying to install it, i'm getting this error:

------
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
alpine: Depends: mime-support but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
------

any idea how to fix this?

@impeham,

I use the one linked above (third post, http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...88&postcount=3). Should be identical, but the one in extras-devel seems to have additional dependencies.

Package mime-support is in Nokia binary repository ("Fremantle nokia-applications explicit armel"), so please do check if you have it enabled. Otherwise just use the one linked above.

direct link:

http://home.mminternet.com/delaroca/...alpine-2.02.gz

just gunzip it. it's only the binary, and you can put it anywhere (chmod +x, so not on Mydocs!)

So within the last month I've gotten into using Alpine myself on my N900. I love it for several reasons now. Anyway, I am now much more familiar with Alpine as a program and thus better equipped to actually maintain the package.

Either way, whenever I get the time (admittedly probably not very soon) I will get back to updating this and pushing it down the line to the extras repo.

I'm thinking of packaging a shell script along with it to invoke the browser as the URL viewer in future versions - since by default that's not included and thus viewing long URLs or URLs in HTML email is a pain in the rectal regions.

@Mentalist Traceur,

Good to hear!

I actually was also thinking about packaging alpine as part of a test of my new scratchbox environment (I now have a virtual root server running debian wheezy 32-bit with scratchbox with the cssu/thumb toolchain on it -- pretty cool to compile things really fast using the N900 as a mere ssh client

Seems like nobody uses it here as the build in extras-devel can't remember passwords ( -passfile option not compiled in) and no one complains.

Tried using it but never came far. It has a bit of learninf curve compared to modern GUI client. think I should, modest is kinda slow.
But that is indeed a dealbreaker

I continue using the one linked above (it does save passwords). Actually I haven't used Modest in the last few months. At the moment it takes care of my offline gmail (running mbsync and dovecot on the N900), my online gmail and my news. I've used now (al)pine for MORE THAN 20 YEARS. How cool is that, heh?
