How do I get pine to check mail on other pop servers?
I want it to check these places periodically, not just when I
log in.

Not at all. Pine is a mail reader, not an MTA. You will want to use one of
those for this task, preferably one that can be run in daemon mode. Fetchpop
is one of those:

The  fetchpop  program  retrieves  mail from a remote host using the POP3
mail transfer protocol as described in RFC1225 and RFC1081.
