Subject: PC-Pine question

On another list, I saw the statement made that PC-Pine works only with
IMAP servers and that if your remote mail server is a POP3, it probably
won't function.  I haven't yet tried PC-Pine, but my Unix copy of Version
4.21 accesses POP3 servers just fine, thank you very much.  Should I
expect the same performance from PC-Pine if I structure the server address
the same way as I do in Unix Pine?

>From the Pine FAQ, section 9.3
(http://www.washington.edu/pine/faq/config.html#9.3):

"Versions of PC-Pine prior to 4.00 cannot be used with a POP (Post Office
Protocol) server. With Unix Pine, and with PC-Pine 4.00 and after, you can
access a POP server..."

The statement you saw was innacurate, as it only applies to pre-4.x
versions of PC-Pine.
