No, it does not let you out. You can run a Unixish version of PINE in a remote shell, even if your operating system is DOS. The Unixish versions will access POP3 servers. > Do you know of any alternative methods that WILL work with POP3? The DOS versions of PINE work only with IMAP servers. Even with IMAP servers the DOS versions work very poorly with those servers running the new and so-called "upgraded" IMAP software. The DOS versions used to work fine on IMAP servers running the older software. For accessing your POP3 inboxes you can use Unixish versions of PINE running on a remote Unixish shell account. You can use DOS Telnet or SSHDOS to log on to your remote shell account. For security reasons it is preferable to log on using SSHDOS instead of Telnet.
