Pine and Gmail; low-fi email

We’ve had a rough week at work so today we basically had a moratorium on all changes so I decided to compile Pine on my laptop and configure it for Gmail.

Its pretty easy:

  1. In Gmail; enable POP access under ‘settings’
  2. In Pine; configure your inbox-path similar to the following:

    {pop.gmail.com/POP3/SSL/novalidate-cert/user=YOUR-EMAIL@gmail.com}INBOX

  3. Configure your smtp-server similar to the following:

    smtp.gmail.com/user=YOUR-EMAIL@gmail.com/ssl/novalidate-cert

  4. Check “enable-incoming-directories”

That’ll get you up and running on an email system with a hi-fi back end and a low-fi front end.
