Now why would you say that, Thomas, Why?
Amanda: to use pop3 with pine, set your inbox variable in pine to
something like: {pop.isp.com/pop3}inbox note the braces.
This assumes that your username on the server is the same as it is on the
local system. If it isn't do:
{pop.isp.com/pop3/user=remote_user_name}inbox
It's possible that the server also supports IMAP. In that case just leave
off the /pop3 part. Imap is much nicer. It's even possible to set Pine
to use all your remote folders as if they were local with IMAP.
HTH.
