Pine is a mail reader, but not a downloader. Most distributions come with
fetchmail, which can download mail from your ISP's mail server.
Try typing fetchmail -ppop3 mail.yourserver.com -udmosley
(the -p is protocol, the -u is user.)
Fetchmail will ask you for your password, and download the messages,
provided you are already dialed up and connected to your ISP.
