Pine

Pine is an email program which accesses your email directly on the email server, rather than copying it to your computer.   It does not require a specific software package  installed on your computer - any telnet or SSH program can be used to access it.   Although it only uses a simple text interface (no fancy graphics) it is easy to use and is the simplest way to check your email when you are not at your own computer.   The tipsheet below has complete instructions for using Pine.
