OSU Physics Faqs : Computing (general) : Email : Pine mail program : How do I read my Unix email when running Pine on another computer?
Note that you could always ssh to fox and then run pine directly on fox. This has the advantage of making all the mail operations fast but doesn’t work so well in handling attachments (e.g., MS Word documents). Also, if you have a slow connection (e.g., modem), you wouldn’t want to use the viewers (e.g., gv or xv) on fox but instead use local viewers (it still will be slow if the attachment is large!). To have Pine access your mail on Unix we’ll use imap. You don’t need to know what it is doing, you just need to change a few lines in your .pinerc file. (You can also do this within mail using the Setup facility, but I find it easier just to explain how to edit .pinerc). You will find .pinerc in your home directory. Bring it up in an editor. There will be lines starting with #, which are comments, and other lines that specify options. The option lines start in the first column unless it is a continuation line, in which case the second, thrid, etc. lines are indented at least with one spa
