Your knowledge is wrong.

9.3 Can Pine be used with a POP server?
Versions of PC-Pine prior to 4.00 cannot be used with a POP (Post
Office Protocol) server. With Unix Pine, and with PC-Pine 4.00 and
after, you can access a POP server in "online" mode. That is, Pine
will start a POP3 session and keep it open until the mailbox is
closed. Due to the nature of the POP3 protocol, Pine will not see any
new mail which arrives during the POP3 session. Thus new mail only
arrives upon starting a session.
