POP3 in Pine

For those who use pine as their mail client

you can use pine with both local mail and with POP3 mail
without any tools like fetchmail or other tools to get POP mail first

These are multiple config files:

pine -p localmail
pine -p popserver1
pine -p popserver2


Configuring Pine to Use your pop3 server

Go to setup in programmes
Set your inbox-path:

{pop.server.com/pop3/user=myid}INBOX


now restart pine
enter password and connect to remote server
and use it as you are accessing your local mail
