Unless I'm missing some major part of history, qmail is a mail transport
agent (like sendmail, exim), and not a mail reader, which pine is.

qmail is really nice on FreeBSD now that there's a port, and exim is quite
nice too, if you don't want to run sendmail.

For mail reading programs, mutt is really cool, elm slightly less so, and I
don't much like pine (although the inbuilt news facility is nice).
