Move mail from Evolution to Pine

[Youssef Makki]

I'm actually trying the opposite of your last suggestion. I use
Evolution on my home pc. What I'd like to do is ssh to my home pc and
have access to a console email client to avoid setting up anything on
any remote pc (putty should be all I need), considering I can't install
anything on lab computers at the university.

>From what I gather from what you suggested, I could setup something like
fetchmail on my home pc, point Evolution and Pine/mutt to pick up mail
from it instead of my real pop servers, and everything should work fine?
If that's possible, then I could avoid replacing Evolution with
Pine/mutt just for this purpose..
