  • Setting up address book

    From Daniel@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 8 00:21:35 2024
    My email provider has a dav setup for synching address books. Ive been
    trying to find the magic combinatino of letters and numbers to set my
    address book up in alpine to sync with the dav service

    My service provides easy, fisher-pricey instructions basically listing
    the server name, then add username and password.

    The alpine address book wants the address, but then the folder and name.

    This is the real list:

    url https://dav.privateemail.com
    login email address
    password password

    Alpine setting (assmuming it is using the same credentials as the imap configuration)

    Server Name: https://dav.privateemail.com
    Folder Name Contacts
    Nickname Primary

    It fails to connect: fails to fetch blablabla

    What am I missing?

    Does alpine even support DAV? AIUI it only supports LDAP address books
    and those accessed via IMAP in the UW format.

    himself to start compiling things, just so he could compile his shell.
