title: setting up email
---
Your shiny, new tilde.club account comes with an email account you can use only between tilde.club members. `pine` is a command-line email application to use it, as is `mutt`. Good old-fashioned `mail` works too, although it's a little cryptic.
`pine` 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:
- 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.

title: how to contribute to this wiki
author: benharri
---
1. grab a copy of the site's source code
git clone https://github.com/tildeclub/site tilde.club && cd tilde.club/wiki
1. make a new article or update an existing one (only change the markdown
source)
1. generate the wiki pages. you need to be in the wiki directory.
run `./build-wiki.sh` to create the html.
1. submit the code via a PR on github or with git-send-email(1) to root@tilde.chat
see [git-send-email.io](https://git-send-email.io) for more info on how to use
it. if you're working locally on tilde.club, you won't have to configure
anything; git will use the system's sendmail to handle the email.
1. profit???
ask on irc if you have questions!
