I was trying to set up alpine to connect to the imap server of my email provider. The URL of the imap server is something like "emailprovider.com". Connecting does not work however, and alpine is complaining about authentication failed to "mail.emailprovider.com" - so it seems that alpine is adding the "mail." part at the beginning of the URL. I don't know if this is the reason why I can't connect, but it seems at least strange that alpine changes the URL that I configure.
Can anyone reproduce this and is this maybe the root cause of my problems?
