How do I check version of alpine mail client?

Solution 1
oh, just found it:
alpine -version
Solution 2
That works even without alpine
installed (e.g. in Docker container):
$ cat /etc/alpine-release
3.4.6
Solution 3
You should be able to run the command alpine -v
or alpine -version
... you can also start Alpine and press ?
on the main menu to open the main Help page, which will also tell you the version.
If your system has a package manager that you used to install Alpine, you can also check with that. For example, on my Debian system, I'd run:
$ dpkg -l | grep alpine
ii alpine 1.10+dfsg-3 Text-based email client, friendly for novices but powerful
