Wow, that's a new one for me. I just did a search for POP in the
configuration, and I see a half dozen settings for POP, but nowhere to set
Alpine up as a POP client. So, I visited the Alpine (Pine) homepage at
washington.edu/alpine and started reading. Pine v4.64 was the final
version of Pine, and Alpine has only been around since sometime after
2005, as a re-written Pine, which was closed-source, as part of the Apache
licensing scheme as v2.0.

Pine started in 1989 and in the section on IMAP, they explain what it is,
and then say, Pine is such a client. They also say, under the POP3 heading
that it's an older protocol that's going away. ;-)

I don't think Pine (or Alpine) can do POP, so I'm wondering if you are
using something that isn't from the University of Washington...???
