Hi Chime,
Thanks for those details.
Let me be more specific to avoid confusion.
When google removed the inclusive access to gmail via basic HTML, I secured
a service that gives me access to it, using alpine, via imap.
That service does not really know much about how alpine works.
There are times when gmail places items into its spam folder that
should not be placed there.
In basic html I could say add that address to contacts avoiding the issue.
Now though this door is closed.
I seek a method within alpine itself, as the email client, that manages
this process.
Does one exist?

Thanks,

Karen
