Unix Pine will do pop .... the syntax is something like:

incoming-folders={pop3host.domain/pop3}MailBox_Name

"Can Pine be used with a POP server?" is, in fact, the recently revised
last item on the list of Frequently Asked Questions about Pine, found at
the URLs:

I set my inbox-path to {pop01.ny.us.ibm.net/pop3}INBOX.
Pine asked for my user name and password.  I see the RD and SD
LEDs flash a bit and then pine freezes.

When I send a kill -HUP to pine the xterm says "segmentation fault"

I am trying pine 3.91 on Linux.  Anyone see what I did wrong? 
Thanks!

This is what happend from the .pine-crash file:

Pine 3.91 has an error in its POP 3 code. Use version 3.95 (seems to me it
works well or at least much better when accessing POP 3 mailboxes).

I've downloaded, and compiled pine 3.95 and it's working fine.
Is there anyway to have pine download the messages from the pop
mailbox, delete them, and store locally?  I can see the pop mailbox
getting rather huge with content otherwise.
