I use 'popclient', a program that will pull off POP mail and put it into a folder. I believe it's in the ports distribution as popclient-2.21. Not sure though. (if you DO use this, save the mail as a folder; if you try to make it mail it back to you (the default), that support is broke and it will eat the mail. :( Otherwise works great.) Pine's remote folder support uses "imap" which may not be supported on all systems. imap also doesn't work very well on very busy systems. I don't use elm so I can't comment on that. Hope this helps.
