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.   Regu‐
       lar 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  in‐
                           stead.)

       -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.
