Edit your .pinerc file in your ~/ home directory. Look for these lines.
# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Pine uses
sendmail.
smtp-server=mail.server.here
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
inbox-path={pop3.server.here/pop3}INBOX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ notice the format
Then save and restart Pine.
