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).
