I always loved pine ,for its jus too simple.
Today i figured it out how to read my emails in Gmail through pine
* start pine by the command pine
*M->S->C ( Main menu->Setup->Config)
*Set the inbox-path variable to {pop.gmail.com/pop3/ssl/user=username@gmail.com}inbox
*For sending mails
set the smtp-server variable to smtp.gmail.com/user=username@gmail.com
and now access inbox and you will have your gmail mails ready :)
PS : If someone tell me how to access other labels fom pine

With pengufest coming soon ,
we wanted to create a custom distro, just one CD/DVD that will have flash/java/mp3 support .It is needed for most of the junta living in hostels which dont have a net connection.
With pengufest we hope to give users a complete Linux Distro that the user can readily install and do all the works which he would do with the M$ .
The Packaging we plan is as follows :
* Ubuntu based
* support for mp3 ,mplayers,xine
* flash 9
* Java with eclipse
* all development tools
glade,monodevelop,python-modules,ruby,devhelp,anjuta,nvu
* LIVE CD/DVD
* Free e-books
byteofpython,diveintopthon,rubydocs and many other popula free e-books and
documentation
