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. Regards, Irv
