Email > About Pine Pine is an email program for UNIX systems. CUIT supports it on the CUNIX cluster and on a Pine cluster that is dedicated to Pine. To connect to the CUNIX or Pine clusters you must run a secure telnet program on your computer. For more information including software downloads see the link on the right. Also on the right are links "Start Pine" and "Start CUNIX" that will open a secure telnet program if you have one. "Start Pine" connects to the Pine cluster, where Pine starts up automatically. "Start CUNIX" connects to the CUNIX cluster, where you will get a UNIX shell prompt, from which you can run Pine or other programs. Pine uses IMAP to access your mail. Cubmail uses IMAP too, and you can configure a PC mail program like Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Outlook Express to use IMAP. You can read mail any of these ways and get the same view of all the same mail folders. Remember that your computer is not running Pine. Your computer is running a secure telnet program to connect to the CUNIX or Pine cluster, and the computer you connect to is running Pine. If you send or receive attachments, Pine can send files that are in your CUNIX account, and can save files to your CUNIX account. Since 2008 Pine is also known as Alpine. Alpine is a completely rewritten version of the old Pine software. Pine and Alpine were written at the University of Washington where there is a Alpine Information Center with more information. The software is available for Windows and Linux but CUIT supports Pine only on the CUNIX and Pine clusters.
