You need an additional utility > called "fetchmail" This might be true for Pine which I don't know, but mutt has some support for POP3 servers. 1.2.5i for sure. And, BTW, fetchmail is not the only choise you have. I use getmail, and am a satisfied user. Don't know about fetchmail, but Charles Cazabon, author of Getmail, is a very kind and responsive person, willing to help with all at least remotely related issues. Just my 2c.
