Pine can do *either* pop3 or IMAP.  I should qualify that by saying that
I'm most familiar with Pine 4.44 and later.  I can't speak from personal
experience about 4.21 (the Slack71 version), but am presuming that it, too
does IMAP as well as pop3.  But in any case, I can attest from personal
experience that 4.21 does do pop3.  I tried it, and the directions I gave
are for using it with a pop3 server.

There's quite alot of documentation on the web on Pine, and I suggest you
consult that to see if it can do what you ask.  I've always used it as a
popmail checker, so I just can't say for sure if it can do what you're
talking about.  My impression is that it needs an MTA to do that like
fetchmail.  But that's only a guess.

You are prompted for your password when the client connects to the
server.

I think it's standard protocol for pop3 server administrators to name the
root folder for a given account "inbox."  Like the mainpage for a given
website is often called "index.html" or "default.html."  It's sort of a
guess, but makes sense.

Well, at 1-2MB for the Pine 4.21 binary, it's alot smaller than a web
browser (except maybe Links 0.xx or Dillo) and so is likely a bit faster.
And it gives you an address book and you can configure things like an html
viewer, editor - etc.

You're probably right about it needing a transport agent.  But let's check
into this further, since I'm not totally sure.

Probably.  Pine's mail directory is ~/mail (lower case m).
