Subject: pine help: imapd pop3 sco

Will a pine imapd client (local) connect and talk with a pop3 server
(remote) so that I can get my mail from my ppp-access provider?
(In the sparse install/config docs it briefly mentions that the imapd
client is a superset of the pop3 rfcnnn standard...)

Please email reply to: [email-masked]

Thanks in advance...

Imapd is a server, not a client.  The c-client in the latest IMAP toolkit
does provide a POP driver, so Pine could be made to use POP without great
difficulty.  Pine 3.90 will not have it enabled by default though.
