In comp.mail.pine, some queer sunspot activity fomented Brian K. Curley (Master of Time & Space) to pen:

 -  Anyone know how I would check mail via pine on a server that required a 
 -  password at logon?

If the server is running an 'imap' daemon, then you can use Pine as a MUA
to read your incoming-mail of that server.

pine -f "{mail.server.address/imap}INBOX"

Replcae mail.server.address with the address of the mailserver that you are
trying to read mail from. This will prompt you for your userid and passwd on
that mail-server and once you key that in, you are all set.

Oh! BTW is there any mail-server out there that don't require a passwd? :)
