You can however open a pop3 folder by adding a line like this into your .pinerc. inbox-path={mail.your-isp.com/pop3}INBOX I think that's all you can do. I switched from pine to mutt little over a year ago, and never looked back, so if I'm wrong, then sorry, but this is the only way I know of that pine can do it.
