Subject: Proposed POP3 support

Greetings:
  I've been using PINE for over 3 years.  I would like to propose that PINE
support the Post Office Protocol (POP3).  This is especially important to
members of internet service providers!!!
  As the internet is becoming more accessable, so is the need to retrieve
electronic mail.  PINE works GREAT from a localized host machine, or from a
localized mail server.  When it comes to remote Email access (from external
mail source/domain), PINE chokes!!!
  Please let me know what you think.  We know that PINE supports SMTP, NNTP,
MIME and IMAP.  Now we need the added support of POP3 to make PINE complete!

Thank you for your time,

Well, Pine already supports pop3! :) 

The folder name is:

{your.mail.server.com/pop3}

(Ofcourse, all messages are automagically expunged from the server when
they're downloaded, atleast to my knowledge.)

Why not just have your ISP install imapd?  IMAP is a functional superset
of POP so you will not lose anything by using IMAP to access your folders.
Also note that there is no problem with your ISP supporting both IMAP
and POP (for those poor souls who are using a POP client).

	I second that!  I installed PC-pine thinking that it will support POP3
and save my messages in mailx format instead of some proprietary
format (like MS Exchange).  I was a bit disappointed to find out that
it didn't support POP3.
