NAME

       rpload - alpine remote data utility

SYNTAX

       rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder

DESCRIPTION

       Rpload  may  be  used  to  convert  local  Alpine  configuration  files  or  address  books  into  remote
       configurations or address books.  It is intended to be used  by  system  administrators.   Regular  users
       should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.

       Local_file will usually be a user's alpine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which
       will be used (with the help of Alpine's -p, -P,  and  -x  commands  or  PINECONF,  PINERC,  and  PINERCEX
       environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder.  A copy of Local_file will be placed in
       the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Alpine.

       -f                  Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format.   This  will  delete
                           the contents of the folder so use it carefully.

       -s trimSize         If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is
                           for the header message), then messages 2, 3, and so on will be  deleted  until  there
                           are only one plus trimsize messages left.  If this option is not set no trimming will
                           be done.

       -t Type             The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig.   (Sig  is  mostly  obsolete.  Literal
                           signatures contained within the remote pinerc should be used instead.)

       -l Local_file       The file on this system that is to be copied.

       -r Remote_folder    A remote folder name to be copied to.  See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of
                           a remote folder name.  One example is
                           {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
