  • How to download gmail?

    From Nicholas Saunders@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 27 13:55:01 2023
    I think that my mbox problems might be with Gmail or Thunderbird:

    How would I verify the download?

    There is a problem with the From line. Alpine expect a line that says

    From [email protected] Sun 8 Oct 04:18:08 2023

    Note the differences: No comman after the day of the week, the location of
    the year is at the end, and the number of the day of the month is two characters long, and never starts with a 0, but a space when it is a
    single digit.

    I hope this helps.

    Yes, got it. The "app specific password" took some extra googling, but I got that setup. (Went to 2 Factor Authentication and at the bottom of the page created a special password for Alpine.)

    What I'm thinking is to add local folders and then just use the bulk operations from Alpine to backup e-mails locally. But how do I create local folders? Everything is IMAP at the moment.
