If you are using Pine 3.91 you can set the user domain in the setup to
put the domain of your ISP and then use a login with the same name as
your login on the ISP. That is how I have been doing my mail (and how I
am replying to this right now). If you are using a different mail
program I don't know (but I am sure someone does). Anyway hope this
helps and is what you were asking.
