OUTLOOK 365 AND IMAP INTERGRATION USING ALPINE 2.24 For the last couple of days, I have been trying to use information about how to access O365 using IMAP and ALPINE Mailer, which would allow me to access and compose mail FROM cardinal, rather than to use the web interface for the Office 365 mail system. I have used PINE and ALPINE since 3.89, and have used alpine 1.0, which was made in 2007. and now I am using alpine 2.24 on cardinal. it had worked before, when GD had their own server, and i was able to authenticate. When GD "farmed out" email services to Microsoft, setting up email became impossible for me to understand because You have to use tokens and codes, and I think that MS and Google make it harder to do this than it should be. Hopefully the Maintainer/Developer of ALPINE, who told me to email him off list will be able to fix this: i was able to get mail from there, but I cant accept and save the tokens that I need so i don't have to reauthorize every time: if done right, it should always be the same token, so I am hoping he can help me here Wish me luck!

I Second what @spark says! I am disabled, and through school, I had an IEP that basically laid out things that I was supposed to do, and it also laid out what the school was to do to help me succeed. They would always have us use "passes" to go places, and that also means when you use the bathroom. They would INSIST that the pass be returned by the person who used the pass last, and we used to get in trouble if we went without that stupid bathroom pass. I also agree that students are usually on the run from about 5AM in the morning until maybe 10PM at night. Throughout the day, they have to get ready for school, and try to eat something, and then go through 7 HOURS or more of school, then do work or practice, then homework, and then it repeats. You basically are busy from early morning to late night, and that is a challenge in and of itself. Most students that attend school want to follow the rules, and they want to be able to do the things that their peers do, like their peers do it, but sometimes that is not possible: because of the limitations they face, and even with those limitations, I try to do what i CAN do, and NOT worry about what I CAN'T do: The problem I had in school was that I was WAY behind because of having to understand things that the same pace as my peers, and most times I was trying to make my mark on the wall, but some fool would ERASE the mark, and that made me have to redo and relearn everything at least twice. It is hard work to get through the school day, but even harder when you have to do things over and over, or when you just don't get it, and you lose your cool: I've done it myself, and I can tell you it is awful to have that happen, and have people laugh because you don't understand, or THEY don't understand why you don't understand. That's what makes school harder for those who have challenges: but, you learn ways to cope, and I am very fortunate to have friends that helped me, and I am grateful for that As @sparksays, there is not enough time between classes to be able to even GET to the next class, let alone the time to be able to use the bathroom. I figure if a kid is not responsible enough to be able to move about the building and USE the facilities or be TRUSTED that he will be where he is supposed to be when he is IN the building, than he should have to deal with the consequences of those misdeeds. This should NOT take rights away from students to use the restrooms or any other place in the school. Appropriate sanctions can be fashioned so that you are NOT taking rights away - Everyone needs the bathroom. and as spark says, he will go to the restroom for a breather, and it does NOT matter whether you are Students, Staff, or Faculty: They all need the bathroom! What they should not do is to control when a kid can use the bathroom. Schools that would do things like putting up locking gates, or anything placed there to stop the use of that bathroom are, in my mind, VIOLATING the Law! You cannot deny children (or adults) the right to the bathroom, and you cannot ignore when someone needs the bathroom when you are teaching: The ADA protects the disabled, and I am quite sure that in America, NO ONE can do this to a student. Also, being a former IEP student, I know that you basically can add/change/delete things to your IEP after a meeting with those on your team, and your parents and teachers. I am not sure what other countries laws and rules and regulations say, but I would LOVE to take these rule making people, and MAKE THEM have to do a whole day without using the bathroom once. I'd go one better to have them use a wheelchair like I do, and live a month in it, and use the bathroom with aides and help, and/or use diapers during that month: IF these rule makers could NOT use the bathroom at times it may be needed, and they were inconvenienced because they had to use the bathroom and couldn't and used a diaper instead, they'd understand that you CANNOT deny that we have to use the bathroom. I taught that lesson to a couple friends when I had to be in a wheelchair, and they were saying how "cool it was to be able to ride in a chair, and all this....." I reminded them that I have friends that have to use chairs, and they need assistance in bathing/toileting/dressing,etc. When I said that they wore diapers, they QUICKLY change their tune, and they then understood that others have challenges too. My Point: when you are disabled, and have mobility challenges, you have to do things with your classmate and friends: When you have to worry about a stupid PASS to return BEFORE you can use the bathroom, it adds an UNNECESSARY step to the process. It became a problem when I had to RUN to the bathroom many times WITHOUT the pass, and then would get PUNISHED for doing it, because I was expected to HOLD it, and that was a problem a few times: I wet myself a couple times in school BECAUSE of these insane rules, and the school was MAD, but I TOLD them that "When I SAY I have to GO, I MEAN I have to GO!" I had to get my case manager, my teachers and support staff to listen to me and my MOM who said EXACTLY what I said, and I actually had to have it WRITTEN into my IEP that I could go to the bathroom when I NEEDED to go, without fear of punishment, without the pass, and without question. I already understood that I had a responsibility to myself, and I was NOT gonna deal with a bunch of foolish idiots that thought I was lying or trying to get away with something. With the help of the IEP Team, they "educated" my teachers that a pass is NOT always required, and that sometimes, rules like this can and should be modified or not enforced. Me wetting OR messing myself in school is and was embarrassing, and it takes time away from me being able to get stuff done, and so, I am glad that when I was RIGHT, I pushed it, so that I had what I need. The idea here is NOT really to start issuing diapers to those who don't need them BUT for this ridiculous rule that makes bathroom usage and availability at the discretion and whim of the administration. I say that this is WRONG and is a violation of rights! Who the hell make rules like this? Kids do what kids do: They will do things that are illegal or things that peers push them to do, they will do things that are good, they may do things that are wrong, but if they have an appropriate role model, they usually do OK. You also have to use your HEAD: If you know what is RIGHT and what is WRONG, you do your best to stay clear of those issues, and you always TRY to help others steer clear of them as well. I'm not saying that all kids are troublemakers, but the vast majority of them are good kids, do their best in school, and they follow the rules, and are role models for others to look up to. I had a few friends that I looked up to, and i still do that today - we all have challenges and I have had mine too, and I have helped many as worked through them, but I always knew that my friends always had my back Brian

@Little Sherri Because of my Gag Reflex, and my weak stomach, I would be able to tell if there is something that would cause my reflex to activate. If it smells bad enough to cause that to happen, and I smell something that is "earthy", I would immediately remove the paci, and prepare it for BOILING in HOT water, to KILL anything that it may have picked up while it is either sitting around, or after a prolonged use period. I have 2 pacis, (Black and Purple) and each had its own plastic storage cap for one, and a square plastic storage box for the other. When I used it last, I cleaned both, because they had been sitting around for a while, and because I could not remember when I had used them last, the pacis were cleaned, and the plastic box and plastic cap cover were sterilized, because you never know what could get IN or ON the paci, or its storage boxes. [I use mine when I am stressed or upset] I've heard that many people tear the paci down to clean it, BUT I, having some issues with manual dexterity in some cases where you have to be careful when you pull something apart, so that it could be cleaned, and since I feel it would break if I tried to take it apart, I would not do that. I know that there are plenty of videos that can show you how to disassemble and reassemble it, but with my luck, I'd probably break it, so I would NOT try to disassemble or reassemble it myself. However, placing the whole shooting match in BOILING water is something I've heard here on DD, that members have stated had been done to clean them. Granted, this procedure probably was used a LOT more when they were raising their kids, and we all know that lil ones put EVERYTHING in their mouths, so you have to keep things clean a lot more than you would for older kids, but when you are dealing with something you put IN your mouth, you'd want it to be super clean, so making sure that it is clean and ready to use is important, and like @Little SherriI would also want to keep stuff clean, and I would NOT want it to smell, so it is GOOD that he found that, and was able to clean it up: It only goes to show you that there are reasons you have 5 senses, and while you may not SEE a problem right away, if something doesn't SMELL right, the signal is there that you should check it out Brian
