>can I setup pine to use with my current pop3 email account? Ive contacted my isp and they have no idea what Im talking about, all they could do is give me smtp and pop addys..Like is it possible for me to setup Pine with this and/or view my mails without having to download them (like outlook express does)

Yeah it's no problem to set it up to view emails thru pop3 I do that on my Win2k-
machine. The only problem is that you cannot have pine look for more emails without
restarting it. You do of course view them on the pop3-server without downloading until 
you want to do that.

There should be some instructions about how to configure for pop3 at the Pine-information
Center. I know I have found it there before.
What you do is basically setting inbox-path to something like
mailserver.your.com/pop3/user=yourusername

Try looking at http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/pine/ also.
