(How To) sending mail using alpine

Sorry for the late post. I've been busy before this. So , as what i told you before the next post is about to send email using alpine the terminal based application. i'd like to remind you, that this application is very useful for the person who love to feel how the old time people used to send email, and it is especially used for an admin of a server, who dont even use gui in their server. what they see in their screen is a group of character, combination of character to perform pic. for whoever dont like it, and rather like to use browser , no complain about this i hope.

so..... we can start it now.

open terminal and type "alpine" to start the application

type in your password to get the inbox ready.

now choose "COMPOSE MESSAGE" by pressing "C" without quotes.

type

alpine >> password >> c

fulfill the form.

and to attach any file , we have to press "ctrl+J"

if you remind the file to be sent already, then just type in the address. For example i want to send a document called rinozeen.doc at Desktop.. then i'll just have to put

~/Desktop/rinozeen.doc

if you cant remember, no worry cause we can press "ctrl+tab" to find the folder.



then insert any comment and press "enter" (without quotes)

it should look like this



put some message in the body and press "ctrl+x" and press "y" then you are done ... :D

old school email application (alpine+gmail) in ubuntu

hi all... have u ever want to know how people send email before this century? it is pretty cool stuff when we turn back to that time, where internet is not widely used. used only for a certain company or organization. this application "alpine" is really cool for me. i love it so much coz i dont really need graphical email for my own use. this application is terminal based. the gui is only text and symbol and based on linux platform.however, there is also for windows if you would like to try.here is the page for download.

to start the installation;

sudo apt-get install alpine


when the installation is finished, then a little configuration needed.

This is the main menu


go to >> setup >> config


by pressing "s" and then "c" (without quotes)

now , configure these important elements

Personal name : {your name}

User Domain : gmail.com

SMTP Server : smtp.gmail.com:587/tls

Inbox Path : imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=user@gmail.com


for example , this is mine



now, you are done with the gmail configuration. you can freely send and recieve email.
The next tutorial, i will show you how to send email using this application.. :D hope u love it.. post a comment for me to improve any weakness. your comment will be appreciated!

you can make some programming task and in the same time, you can se a documentation for your programming within the same window, but at different region.


if something need you to use terminal, like doing programming (without gui). as example there, i've done some a basic hello world programming using java. very easy rite ;). And it also looks great for me .


there is also the highlighting mode u can choose and can customize color you want to use.

Virtual Box 3.0

what is virtual box?

Virtual box is an application where you can install other operating system inside your current operating system. I'd like to describe it like this diagram,

Your main operating system is Windows Vista (also called as host operating system), while inside it there are other operating systems. In this example they are Windows XP and Fedora inside your Windows Vista. Its very cool. However , in my own machine, I'd like to have Linux as my host operating system. A lot of pretty cool tutorial on how to install it, so just follow them. Click here (credit to falco)to install virtual box in your machine in ubuntu.

What i'd like to share is some pretty cool feature from v box(virtualbox) that is "seemless mode".

See this pic... I really love it.seems like , the XP merged completely with my linux.

so, I can run other software for microsoft such as microsoft office etc.

lets have a screenshot.

(running microsoft office in guest os )

However, it is still not too stable. Sometime there will be error on displaying the XP's windows and linux's.

How to do it??

easy..... run virtualbox, at any installed virtual machine.

Go to the Guest OS's window, at

Machine >> Seemless mode.
