I emerged alpine initially without the passfile flag set in my make.conf, and subsequently remerged it with the Flag set. I then created the .pinepwd empty file in my home dir as per the output of the emerge. However everytime I start alpine it asked for my password for email and nntp servers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge alpine with USE passfile set 2. create empty .pinepwd in ~ 3. start alpine configure server and enter password (doesn't ask to save) 4. restart alpine Actual Results: Still asks for password. Expected Results: Password not asked for as it is saved. I am using alpine with gmail using Imap.

I've moved my ~/.pinepwd away and created an empty one. after starting alpine and entering password it asks to save it. Can you double check: $ alpine -h | grep passfile -passfile <fully_qualified_filename> Set the password file to something other Sascha.
I reinstalled Gentoo and it seems to be ok now, may have been a issue my setup. Closing
