Importing Address Book from pine.gl to Alpine

Importing Address Book from pine.gl to Alpine

This page is for importing the address book from the pine.gl server to the local client Alpine.


OPTION A

  1. Rename the downloaded file so you don't overwrite your local Alpine's address book.

    1. Rename .addressbook to .addressbook_pine.


  2. Open Alpine, then select S for Setup, then A for AddressBooks.


  3. Type A to add a new personal address book.




  4. Leave Server Name blank.
    Folder Name: .addressbook_pine
    Nickname: Pine Address Book



  5. Ctrl+X to exit and save your changes, followed by Y for Yes.


  6. Type M to go back to the main menu, then type A to verify your address books.

    You should now see both the default address book and your address book from pine.


OPTION B

  1. WARNING: THIS STEP WILL OVERWRITE YOUR LOCAL ALPINE ADDRESS BOOK

    Place the downloaded file in the same directory where .addressbook is stored.

    1. If you're on Mac, the file should be in your user directory as a hidden file. Use the command ls -a to see it within that directory.


  2. Open Alpine and type A to verify the Address Book has your pine.gl addresses.
