I haven't used pine in ages. Switched to mutt not long ago, and haven't
looked back.. But, there was a 'mana' package, which appears to be a
fork from pine. Worked about as well when I tried it, but I haven't heard
a thing about it since.
Kernel cousin Debian has something about it:

Also, I personally found pine to be very much a memory hog on my system,
using about 100MB memory just to load one single email folder. Granted,
it was a fairly large folder of 'debian-user' I believe. But still...

I will be switching my email addresses from @ferret.dyndns.org to
@mail.aom.geek on or after September 1, 2001, but not until after
Debian's servers include support. 'geek' is an OpenNIC TLD. See
http://www.opennic.unrated.net for details about adding OpenNIC
support to your computer, or ask your provider to add support to
their name servers.
