re: [UUG/MLUG] New to linux, trying to setup Pine

Actually pine will get mail off a pop server (at least pine 4 will).  Just
put something like:

inbox-path={pop.missouri.edu/pop3}inbox

in your .pinerc file, or you can do it through the pine setup.  You can do
the same thing if you multiple incoming folders.
