Setting up email

authors:

Your shiny, new tilde.club account comes with an email account you can use between tilde.club members as well as internet email. 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: alpine 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.)
