I want to move my account to mailserv; can I still use pine? Or: I have another email account; can I use pine to read my email from it?
• Yes, you can set pine up to read email from other email accounts. • The Email Quota Web Page How to fix mailserv quota problems with pine explains how to set pine up to read mailserv email; you can use the same steps for other email accounts. (Or use the Move to Mailserv utility and click Skip or Continue to skip the other steps until you get to the last step and have the utility make the conversion for you.) • The only catch is that pine, which comes from the University of Washington, the home of IMAP, has always only done IMAP well. So it’s best that you connect to your other account with IMAP. I’ve heard that pine now does POP acceptably also, but I will believe that when I see it. (If you try using POP and it works well, send me email at document@uic.edu and I’ll know not to be so skeptical any more.
