Well to this I can only say "to each his own" As to how many emails I
get, well I've been using it for years, and have at times been signed
up for several verbose mailing lists. Sufficiently so to choke my
mailbox if I didn't remember to run fetchmail. (err that was before I
discovered that MANY mailing lists could be had at news.gmane.org
leaving my actual mailbox free for (mostly spam <sigh>) other mail.

Either way the trick to using pine efficiently with large mailboxes is
to download them to local mail/news spools or mailbox files where pine
doesn't try to SORT the whole remote mailbox through the network
connection... I won't pretend it'd search capability impress me but
it has other uses. One of which is that I don't have to put up with an
annoying point n click interface to use it. But please try to avoid
saying things like: "worst mail client of all time",  & "just about
anything has to be better than" my choice in software tools or I might be
tempted to restart the great holy war saying something similar about your
chosen emacs...

vi RULES FOREVER! (except where superseded by vim...)

Of course, if I actually knew everything, then I'd know I was an idiot...
