To me the crucial distinction is that PC-Pine can use the IMAP protocol
as opposed to the POP protocol.  This means that users are not bound
to a particular PC.  They can switch between PC's at work and home or
switch machines in the lab while their mail folders remain on one server.

Is it correct that there is a PINE for Windows? Has it advantages over
programs like Eudora? Were can I get it?

Also, I am looking for a not-too-big Windows program that combines
mail and news. Any tips?
