[Alpine-info] two Alpine config questions?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi all,
My direct access to alpine is provided by dreamhost, as a part of their 
shared user account workspace.
What this means is not everything flows as  one might expect, but I am 
hoping there is a simple configuration choice I can reach.
When one wishes  to add an email to your  contacts,  the take email 
feature allows you to, at least in my experience elsewhere, add an email to 
your address book.
For some reason though, this often fails when I do this from our Alpine 
setup  for our office  email.
It works most often, but fails from time to time.
Is there a specific feature in settings that configures this option?
On a different note, is there a way to combine folders in alpine?
Thanks,
Karen Lewellen
