After installing a new copy of alpine, use the previously saved remote_pinerc file to set everything up. To do this, open a command window and start alpine from the command line and add the remote config file to the command line. If our username is arthur and the remote_pinerc file is on server.example.com, it will look something like this:
"c:\Program Files\Alpine\alpine.exe" -p {server.example.com/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=arthur}remote_pinerc
