I have seen a lot of suggestions, but not mine (works with pine 4.33):
Open ~/.pinerc in an editor. Leave the "inbox-path" setting so it uses
local mail at startup. Find the "incoming-folders" settings. Add something
like:
incoming-folders="Account Name" {mail.server.com/service=pop3/user=username}inbox,
"Another Account" {mail.other.org/service=pop3/user=othername}inbox
At startup pine will open the local mail folder (or whatever is in
"inbox-path") and in the folder list you get INBOX and the folders defined
as above. upon entering such a folder, pine will contact the server, ask
for the password and login.
This work well for me for three different pop3 mailservers.
with kind regards, Rogier Steehouder
