This is totally wrong. You can use it with POP, but just on one POP
server. I have used it many times before I switched to MUTT which
handles threading far better than Pine. Taken from the info of Pine,
do this.
In your setup config for inbox-path type:
{nameofpop.com/pop3user=username}INBOX
That's it. When you start Pine, it will ask you for your password and
start d/l your mail.
