Simple enough. Edit the pinerc under "inbox-path=" do:
inbox-path={pop.mail.yahoo.com/pop3}INBOX
where pop.mail.yahoo.com is the name of the server. Now evertime you start
pine, it will ask you the userid and passwd for the pop account.
Something to note, though... It's bit quirky. I agree fetchmail is the
more elegant solution.
