For sometime there has been a problem on my install of PC-Alpine
2.24 on Windows10 here. It seems to be a credentials or ssl/tls
problem. The local A. client can log onto posteo.de and display the
inbox ok, but trying to open a folder other than 'inbox' provokes
warning messages like 'Acquire credentials handle failed' and 'There
was an SSL/TLS failure for the server'.
The Inbox Path line is:
{posteo.de:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=<myName>@posteo.de}inbox
I've tried various tls/ssl variations and other flags but the
problem remains.
The pinerc settings file I use works ok in various Linux systems so
I think settings are otherwise ok.
Any thoughts or advice?
For me ms-windows is a black box where you don't know what will happen,
but you would try out WSL/Ubuntu and see if works there, if not then it
may be network issues. If it works then it would indicate that there is
something wrong with the pc-alpine or missing dependency.
I think the basic networking is ok. Using Cygwin I can run Alpine
more or less as advertised. The issue I have with Cygwin is one of
setting up the url-viewers list, I am still working on that. For the
most straightforward way of running Alpine here, I use a virtualbox
session with Debian. Still, it makes more sense to try to get
pc-alpine working as a Windows application, given that I have
Windows10 happy to run many other applications.
I do agree that it's better to get it run native, unless you have other
things running on that debian, I would recommend you to look at wsl,
then you don't have to hassle with the vbox drivers in the debian and
the startup of the wsl session is far faster than the virtualbox and at
the same time you have full access to the windows file system from the
wsl and it don't reserve a fixed amount of memory or relay on a disk
image. The thing I'm looking forward for is the wslgl which will allow
you to run GUI based Linux applications, then my work machine will be a
bit more like my home computer, but sure it had been nice to run all the
stuff I'm used to native instead in a wsl.
After that rant, have you tried an older version and seen if it works
better for you? Also tested the 32bit version? From what I see the 32bit version comes with more libraries and tools. The crypto libraryy seems
to also be newer than the one that comes with the 64bit version.
