[Alpine-info] New to Alpine, but can't get it to connect.

Hi,

I am trying to set up Alpine for the first time, but can't get Alpine to 
connect to Fastmail.



( Copy of my message below that I sent to the Debian Group )

Hi Bret,

So you use POP 3 too huh, if your archive goes back 20 years?

I installed ALPINE and couldn't get it to connect to my server. I just 
kept getting " INVALID PASSWORD"

Even though I watched a Youtube video and followed their directions to a T.

imap.fastmail.com/ssl/user=chris

I tried with an app password, still errored.

Then I tried:

imap.fastmail.com/ssl/user=chris at cwm030.com

used the same app password

FAILED.

Tried typing the password in manually.

FAILED.

Then I tried imap.fastmail.com/ssl/user=FASTMAILUSERNAME

Typed in password.

FAILED

Then I tried imap.fastmail.com/ssl/user=FMUSERNAME at FASTMAIL.COM

Typed in password by hand

FAILED.

* shrugs*

I even tried my regular fastmail password.


I am needing to know what am I doing wrong?
