Alpine Mail Settings
Alpine e-mail server settings are fairly standard. If Alpine hosts your domain, we have included the "mail.<yourdomain>" record within your host file. If your domain is hosted by someone else, you will need to make a record (it can be whatever name you want, "mail" is a pretty easy one to do and one that we recommend for ease of use). The record should point to the following IP:
216.110.213.9
This example is going to be setup for someone using Outlook Express, a fairly common and pretty generic e-mail client. Other clients have extremely similar fields and setup but will differ slightly in verbiage and location of settings.
Create a new account.
Inside of the account, set the following:
Incoming Server: mail.<yourdomain>
Outgoing Server: mail.<yourdomain>
Account Name: <username>@<yourdomain>
The Account Name has to be the fully qualified domain name, not just the inbox name. A lot of mail servers may require only the inbox name, but ours requires the fully <username>@<yourdomain>.
An important setting is under the "Servers" tab, you will need to check "My server requires authentication."
Click on the "Settings" button to bring up the following menu.
Make sure "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" is selected.
This should setup your mail client to start sending and recieving mail from Alpine.
