How to setup remote config in Alpine?

I use Alpine to read Gmail. I have several Linux machines that I login to and I'd like to use Alpine Remote Config so all settings can be downloaded to the machine I'm running Alpine on and importantly, my remote/Gmail address book is available. I'd appreciate if someone can point me to a set of instructions or confirm if this is even possible with Gmail. If its not possible with Gmail, I was wondering if I could use a RPI as server to store those configs so clients that connect to the server can download the necessary files. Update: I tried this: $ alpine -p "{mailserver.org:143/user=jimbob123/tls}remote_pinerc" from Archlinux Wiki and it didn't really work, perhaps Gmail needs to be setup first.
