[Alpine-info] Seeking someone who..?

[Karen Lewellen]

Currently uses alpine to access their gmail account.
A bit of context
I experience sight loss, with basic html my only direct access to my gmail 
account..which has been removed as of last Monday.
I use my gmail account personally and professionally, its lost is quite 
quite quite a situation for me.
There is an associate in Toronto who is aiming to provide an email setup, 
configuring alpine to access gmail, but he has never configured alpine 
before.
As I experience sight loss, and have only accessed my gmail account via 
the web interface, I  need to
1, be sure what I am told should happen here incorporating imap is what I 
expect,
and 2, insure my associate has correct information, all of my alpine 
access is via dreamhost, and they do not configure alpine well.
My associate is using Alpine 2.5, which I recall has a tool that allows 
one to authenticate to gmail,  but I am seeking someone with direct 
experience so this gets done  to the best of Alpine's ability.
If you are personally doing this, Can you please write me off list?
I absolutely positively do not have the emotional capacity to gamble here, 
hoping to connect Ron with someone who knows what they are doing.
