Alpine

When using alpine to connect to the university’s exchange imap server, i.e.:

inbox-path={imap.exchange.soton.ac.uk/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=USERNAME}INBOX

I have found that I get an error message after starting alpine:

kerberos error: No credentials cache found (try running kinit)

This can be avoided with this change in the configuration file (.pinerc):

disable-these-authenticators = GSSAPI

To also disable the possibility of non-ssl connections, we can exclude the plain connection mode as well:

disable-these-authenticators = GSSAPI,PLAIN
