None-the-less, it is difficult to help you without more information. Though
we do have some brilliant mind-readers on this list!

Setting up email on Linux I do quite often. Setting up Alpine I have never
done!

Welcome to Debian. The best distro out there!

I am _disposed_ to help you out, though in my case you do not have to ascribe
it to altruism. I owe this list big-time. But having no experience at all
of Alpine, I am not in a position to help. I am sure however, that there are
many on the list who do use/have used Alpine and will help. I am interested
that you equate setting up Alpine with getting email working. They seem to
me to be different things.
Better luck with th enext person to reply,
