Pine is an email program for UNIX systems. CUIT supports it on the UNIX cluster and on a Pine cluster that is dedicated to Pine.
To connect to the UNIX or Pine clusters you must run a secure telnet program on your computer.
Pine uses IMAP to access your email. Cubmail uses IMAP too, and you can configure a PC mail program like Thunderbird or Apple Mail to use IMAP. You can read email any of these ways and get the same view of all the same mail folders.
Remember that your computer is not running Pine. Your computer is running a secure telnet program to connect to the UNIX or Pine cluster, and the computer you connect to is running Pine. If you send or receive attachments, Pine can send and save files to your account.
Since 2008 Pine is also known as Alpine. Alpine is a completely rewritten version of the old Pine software. Pine and Alpine were written at the University of Washington where there is a Alpine Information Center with more information. The software is available for Windows and Linux but CUIT supports Pine only on the UNIX and Pine clusters.
