Subject: Can pine fetch remote POP accounts?

Hi... I use pine for my work account and Eudora to fetch mail from my POP
accounts at home.

I was wondering... is it possible to use pine to fetch mail from remote
POP accounts? If so, what is the syntax? And this would be even nicer: is
it possible to get it to fetch mail but leave it on the remote POP server
so that I can still get that mail at home.

Thanks for any suggestions. If possible, please cc: a copy of your
response to my e-mail below.

Yes.  The default inbox is "Inbox".  If you change to
"[email-masked]/POP3}Inbox", you access the remote host via POP3.  You
can also use IMAP if the remote host supports it (my school's server
does).  In that case, you omit the "/POP3" qualifier.

If you server does IMAP, and you access mail at home using PC/DOS/WIN,
there is PC-Pine.  If you use Mac, there is a MailDrop from Baylor Univ. 
They all can do IMAP.  PC-Pine can do POP3 also.

Corrections:
 1. Using Pine with POP3 does not result in all messages being fetched,
    with the implication that they can be viewed after disconnecting.
    (Pine does not yet support offline operation.)  However, that also
    means that nothing gets deleted from the server unless you explicitly 
    mark it deleted.
 2. PC-Pine does not yet support POP.
