Here is my config:
personal-name = my name
user-domain = students.wisc.edu
smtp-server = smtp2.services.wisc.edu
inbox-path = {students.wisc.edu/pop3/user=myusername}/home/jon/mail/inbox
All this info works fine in balsa..
It doesn't work here. ??

its alot easier to set up fetchmail to pull the mail from the server, and have sendmail deliver the mail to the local spool...then pine can read it from there. also you can filter things out this way and you can set fetchmail to pull the mail at a specified time interval.

if you still want to do it your way..search google for the pine FAQ...its in there. also this topic has been covered a thousand times in the comp.mail.pine newsgroup.

Yeah, I got that format from the faq:

{hostname/pop3/username=xxx}INBOX

It didn't work.
