I always forget this, and periodically find myself setting up a new pine client. So rather than digging around on the web each time, I’m adding my notes here:
Create a .pinerc file, maybe a custom one for gmail like .gmailpinerc
POP3
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com/user=user@gmail.com/ssl
inbox-path={pop.gmail.com/pop3/ssl/user=user@gmail.com}inbox
IMAP
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com:587/tls/user= user@gmail.com
inbox-path={imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/user= user@gmail.com}inbox
There are a host of other options that can be configured, but this is a good start.

If you’re a serious console user, you should try Mutt. It’s the “Emacs” of console MUAs
I’ve used mutt before but found it was clunky compared to pine. Of course, I only used the out of the box features. When you saying being like emacs, do you mean there are lots of features you can add? If so, let me know which ones you recommend and I’ll try it out again.
just saying Thanks!
new to pine, couldn’t figure this out, and you saved me for a few more hours of banging my head on the table.
Fuck this. Learn to write and verify instructions that actually work.
