@scottalanmiller No Confusion,I just checking how can i access the gmail in the command line ?
Alpine CAN do this, you need to turn IMAP on on your GMail system and configure the client to connect via IMAP and SMTP.

This is my testing process?
What are you trying to test? All of the effort seems to be in the test. What functionality do you want to know is working?

We are having mail clients in GUI that everyone knows,but any chance to access the mail in CLI?
Yes you can. But it requires all of the same setup as a GUI client. Is there really a time that you would want to do this today? Even as a command line guy, I can't think of a time that I would want to do this.

Share your configuration details. Always start with providing the details. We will have to ask for these in every case.

I'm with Scott - why would you want to do this, even for testing? If you want to make sure mail services are working, you can simply telnet into your email host use some hello/ello commands, etc to test the ability to send/pickup email, but configuring a command line client, I'm baffled.
