Basically that's it...
I'm wondering if there's a text based email client that can access POP
mailboxes.
Pine
3.3 Can Pine read mail from a POP3 server?
Yes. Specify the server configuration as follows:
{server.name.invalid/pop3}
The /pop3 flag will tell Pine to use the POP3 protocol. If you use
POP3, you will have issues with new mail notification. See question
3.4. You may also be interested in question 3.7.
3.4 Can Pine notify me when I get new mail?
If you are accessing your inbox as a local spool or with the IMAP
protocol, then Pine will notify you when you get new mail. If you use
POP3, then you will not, because of a limitation in the protocol and
Pine's support of it.
Pine will check for mail in incoming folders when you press the <TAB>
key at the last message in the index. If you wish to check for new
mail in a POP3 mailbox, you might want to add it as an incoming
folder rather than as your inbox.
3.7 My local username is different from the one on my remote server. How
do I read/send mail/news?
In the server specification, add the user flag. For example,
inbox = {mail.server.invalid/user=xyzzy}
The /user flag can be added to any server specification, including
IMAP, POP3 (in addition to the /pop3 flag), SMTP (only if SMTP
authentication is necessary), NNTP etc.
