[Alpine-info] Maildrop setup in laymans terms?

I think we are getting somewhere!

I made the directory

created a file:

touch /home/chris/maildrop/in

Now on my fastmail webmail I see 3 folders

~
maildrop

in

And I dragged your last email into that in folder and then added the folder to alpine by:

M, L, A ,

Added /home/chris/maildrop/in

and now when I browse to that folder from within ALPINE, I see your email inside of that folder.

Now I need to figure out how to set up a rule to automatically move the emails FROM inbox that "in" folder?

Its interesting that the "in" file is just a file its not an actual folder like normal MAILDIR / MH clients that I've used in the past, that has 3 folders called CUR NEW and I forgot the other one.

Thanks,
Chris
