How to Set up PC-Pine to read your E-mail

Pine® - a Program for Internet News & Email - is a tool for reading, sending, and managing electronic messages. Pine was designed by the Office of Computing & Communications at the University of Washington specifically with novice computer users in mind, but it can be tailored to accommodate the needs of "power users" as well.* PC-Pine is the 16-bit and 32-bit versions of Pine for the Windows 3.1x and Windows 95 platform. At present, PC-Pine does not use POP3.
