It sounds like your University doesn't have an IMAP server, or if they do,
you're not using it.  Using IMAP, you can access the same mail folders
from any mail client anywhere, and you can even put your address book up
and access it, too.

Pine was designed for IMAP, so see if your University has an IMAP server.  
If so, I'd strongly suggest using it.

For more info on setting up PC-Pine, including how to put your address
book on an IMAP server, check out Nancy's excellent page at:
