To get UIDL functionality, substitute the ipop3d server from
	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap-4.tar.Z
in place of the one that is bundled with Pine.

You can also use the IMAP4 imapd that is with this version, although you
won't get any greater capability with Pine from doing so.

The POP server included with the standard Pine distribution does not
include the UIDL command.

Instead download the separate IMAP 4 server, which does.

... or use Netscape 3.0 beta 4, which does not need UIDL command :-)
