UNIX Version's Main Menu
Pine is an email client: the University of Washington's "Program for Internet News & Email." Many people believe that Pine stood for "Pine is not Elm." However, its original author, Laurence Lundblade, insists this was never the case and that it started off simply as a word and not an acronym.
There are both Unix and Windows versions of Pine. The Unix version is command line interface-based. Its user interface inspired Pico. Individuals associated with the university (students, faculty, staff, etc.) are also able to use WebPine, a version of Pine implemented as a web application. Webpine has several interesting characteristics:
- Ease of use: at the cost of fewer advanced features compared to its Unix and Windows counterparts
- Accessibility: only requires a web browser and proper university credentials
