I am using Pine 3.91 on my mac right now. So it definitely exists. But I 
don't know anything about software, so don't ask me whether it's good. I 
assume it's good, because I got it from a computer programmer who uses it 
on his Mac - with all the bangs and whistles.

PINE has not been ported to the Macintosh, and it probably never will be.  
You may be using PINE in a terminal (Telnet) window from a UNIX host, but 
it is not running on your Macintosh, since it does not exist for
Macintosh.  However, several other good (some free) IMAP clients do exist
for the Mac:
