Web hosts that allow pine
Laura
to read email on more than one account. Anybody have any good
pine-friendly web hosts?
Thanks in advance!

I've done a lot of research about this and my desire for such a
web-hosting company was one of the main reasons I created my IMAP
Service Providers page, which is here:
<http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/imap/isps/>
Take a look at that page, which includes lots of information
about whether ssh access and pine are available. Here are 3 that
I use to run pine in an ssh window:
dreamhost.com
freeshell.org
viaverio.com
Good luck finding a good provider!

shieldhost.com also has ssh access and pine installed (at least it did 6
months ago)

I use gradwell.com here in the UK. I'm writing this from pine installed
in my home directory on a BSD shell.

I'd like to add that here at Shellprompt.net we allow ssh access and
provide the usual command line tools such as Pine/Elm etc.
We're also UK based.

It's just so damn convenient. I can be in the shell doing mail and
news, get half way through a mail and postpone it. Then get on my
Windows laptop, open PC-Pine and connect locally to the same mailbox and
pick up where I left off. If I can't use Pine I can use SquirrelMail or
Horde to access the same mailbox. If I can't access the Web I can
access my mailbox from my Nokia 6230. The way I've got it set up
everything works with everything else. The Pine config is stored in the
mailbox and works between both Unix and Windows Pine.
I tried to use PC-Pine at work but Thunderbird is actually a more
convenient client in that case. In my previous work everyone else used
Outlook or Netscape, I used Pine on Solaris and again zipped my way
around mail like a charm. Pine's great, I love it. The only problem I
have is pressing Ctrl-J in Thunderbird out of habit ;-)

Even though I can access my mail through POP3/IMAP/WWW, I do find that
9 times out of 10 I check it through the commandline. As you say it's
just so convenient after you've done something else at the commandline
to type in 4 letters (p..i...n...e) to check your mail.
Sadly, less than about 10% of the requests I get for hosting these days
are from people who actually want shell access, and 99% of that 10%
seem to want it purely for IRC (and all the problems that brings).

IMO, they really want a cellphone, instead of that Intardnet thingy. :)
(Seriously--I'm glad I don't have to deal with IRC in anyway)

Pardon any bogus email addresses (wookie) in place for spambots.
Really, it's (wyrd) at airmail, dotted with net. DO NOT SPAM IT.
Kids jumping ship? Looking to hire an old-school type? Email me.

You may add Nethence solutions to the list if you like,
http://www.nethence.com/#hosting, regarding IMAP services. I am myself an
addicted Pine user, and their system operator.
Thanks
