The address book, yes. What about the settings? The configured
mailboxes, the message filter rules, etc ... It would be best to point
the mua to a single remote config (alpine can store it on an imap
server eg) and I wouldn't bother configuring on each machine I read
mail on.

File carbon copy. The name of the folder where the emails go. I find
it useful _not_ having a single inbox and sent folder, rather group
mails by person / organization. With alpine, if the address book is
set up properly, all composed messages go to the right place and
messages saved from the inbox (two keystrokes, compared to
Thunderbird's right-click and dropdown navigation), too.

Then they've fixed this.

I'm a bit disappointed to hear that. TB is rather far from what I expect...
Any suggestions on spam filtering?
