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 fa-
     cilities provided within Alpine.

     Local_file will usually be a user's  alpine  configuration  file,	and  Re-
     mote_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 environ-
     ment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder.  A copy  of  Lo-
     cal_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to sat-
     isfy 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.
