I suppose it is the same master password for email as for news. I just 
enter that master password, for email, just once.

I have two files:

  rw------- 1 cer users     1814 Apr 12 11:49 .pinepw
-rw------- 1 cer users    55941 Apr 11 08:44 .pinerc

There is also a directory, but I can't find it or its name. Ah, 
".alpine-smime/"
