Your shiny, new tilde.club account comes with an email account. `alpine` is a command-line email application to use it, as is `mutt` . Good old-fashioned `mail` works too, although it's a little cryptic.

`alpine` is menu driven, and the menus are self-explanatory; it's surprisingly easy to learn, and surprisingly powerful when you want to customize it.

From the command line (after logged in via SSH), type: `pine` and `[return]`

Follow instructions and use the menus at the bottom and top. (Note: When you see the ^ in front of the letter it means you need to use CTRL, otherwise just use the letter.)

## non-cli options
alternatively, you can use the [webmail ](https://webmail.tilde.club/ ) or standard imap/smtp.
some clients will automatically detect the right settings (tested with thunderbird).
connection settings:

2019-09-20 13:54:26 +00:00
- imap.tilde.club port 993 with ssl
- pop3.tilde.club port 995 with ssl
- smtp.tilde.club port 587 with starttls
if you'd like your @tilde .club mail forwarded elsewhere, you can put an email
address in a file called `~/.forward`
## sieve filtering
our dovecot configuration supports [sieve ](http://sieve.info/ ) and
[managesieve ](https://wiki1.dovecot.org/ManageSieve ).
this means that you should put your scripts in a `~/sieve/` directory,
symlink the active script to `~/.dovecot.sieve` , and make sure to compile it
with `sievec ~/.dovecot.sieve` .
you can find some example sieve scripts [here](
https://wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples).
alternately, you can use webmail's [filter settings](
https://webmail.tilde.club/#/settings/filters) to configure your filters.
