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:
|
|
|
|
- imap.tilde.club port 993 with ssl
|
|
- pop3.tilde.club port 995 with ssl
|
|
- smtp.tilde.club port 587 with starttls
|
|
|
|
please remember to use only your tilde username as the login name, excluding the `@tilde.club`; for example `kot` instead of `kot@tilde.club`
|
|
|
|
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://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/examples/).
|
|
|
|
alternately, you can use webmail's [filter settings](
|
|
https://webmail.tilde.club/#/settings/filters) to configure your filters.

## mailing list
|
|
|
|
we now have an official mailing list!
|
|
|
|
if your account is old (pre sept 2019), you should be subscribed with the email
|
|
you originally signed up with. if your account is newer (post sept 2019), then
|
|
you should be subscribed with your @tilde.club address. if you don't fit either
|
|
of those categories, you can subscribe by visiting the [web portal](
|
|
https://lists.tildeverse.org/postorius/lists/tildeclub.lists.tildeverse.org/)
|
|
or by sending a mail to tildeclub-subscribe@lists.tildeverse.org with "subscribe"
|
|
in the subject line. in either case, you can change the email you're subscribed
|
|
with on the web portal or by unsubscribing and re-subscribing from the other
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
list archives are available [on the web here](
|
|
https://lists.tildeverse.org/hyperkitty/list/tildeclub@lists.tildeverse.org/).
|
|
|
|
as of september 17, 2019, we're still seeing quite a few pending mails to
|
|
gmail, yahoo, and fastmail. help get our list delivered by making sure to
|
|
mark list messages as not spam and adding the list address to your contacts.
|
|
if you're feeling especially motivated, please reach out to the support on
|
|
your mail provider and ask them to look into why you're not receiving the
|
|
messages.
