Pine and pop3



Is anyone currently using PINE to send and receive email messages on the 
internet?  I have Suse 7.2 running pine 4.33.  Although I can send out new 
email, I am unable to receive email messages (lack of knowledge on my part).  
From the main menu, I go into setup, then press C for configuration.  Here I 
can enter the first 4 lines.  I am leaving the rest at default.  These first 
four lines contain my personal name, user and domain (rbryce@mcleodusa.net) 
and then the smtp server and nntp server.  I do not see where I can enter the 
pop3 server (mail.mcleodusa.net), or my account password.  

I went to the developers site where I learned that version 4.0 and greater do 
support pop3 servers, but cannot find any docutmentation on how to get the 
pop3 server to work.  Kmail works just fine, but I always like to use the 
text based tools.  I feel that if I can figure out where to put in the pop3 
server and password, I will be in good shape.  

I did notice that from the main menu, if I go into setup, there is the option 
to change the password, but pine is looking for a /bin/passwd file (looks 
like there should be a script there) but that is missing.  That might not 
have anything to do with the pop3 mail though.  Maybe I am overlooking 
something.  The HowTo's that I have looked at seem to skip over the pine 
configuration.

If anyone has any suggestions they would greatly be appreciated.  

Thanks,

Ricky Bryce
