Subject: pine and pop3

How can I setup pine to use an external POP3 server on an NTbox
 by default when picking up mail from one unix host? So say, someone
 runs pine and it goes out to the external pop3 server picksup the mail
copies it to the localhosts and users directory and thats done by default
for all pine users on this particular unix system. I want to basicly
eliminate the need for every of my systems to be doing pine and mail to
the outside world, i'd rather have a dedicated mailserver for all my systems
topickup mail from within pine.

thanks.

Pine does not yet have *offline* support, which is what it sounds like you
want (that's download msgs and delete them from the server).  Pine does,
however, support *online* operation via IMAP so you can move the Pine
processing cycles safely to other machines.

 See RFC-1733 for definitions.
 See http://www.washington.edu/imap for info on IMAP.
