+===== How To Fix E-Mail Disappearing From Webmail After Opening Alpine =====
+If Alpine is opened, it moves mail from ''/var/mail'' to ''~/mbox''. This means that the moved e-mails will not be viewable in ''mutt'', ''neomutt'' or webmail. One way of solving this is to copy the mbox file into the ''/var/mail/'' as a new folder. Then the mail from that new folder can be moved back into inbox.
+To create the folder:
+''cd /var/mail/''
+''ln -s ~/mbox MyOldMailBox''
+Note: ''MyOldMailBox'' can be any name you want.
+Then use the webmail interface to copy e-mail from the new folder back to the inbox.
