pine is a basic email system run from the unix command line.
Laugh all you want, pine remains a clean way to preview and respond to email that is lightning fast compared to webmail and to Outlook, etc. That's why I use pine to prescreen all my email and reduce the risk of downloading mail with viral content to my Linux or Windows desktop.
"pine is not elm" is the acronymn on which the name is derived.
Not real imaginative or sexy, but pine works pretty well still.

Tracking Your Incoming Messages
The Procmail log is located in $LOGFILE, which, if you used the instructions in Step 4 above, is $HOME/Procmail/pmlog. The contents of $LOGFILE depend on the values of $VERBOSE, $LOG, $LOGABSTRACT, and $TRAP, which you can read about in the Environment section of the procmailrc man page. You can use many commands to view the log including cat, more, less , and my favorite, tail, which I discuss in the next section.
Following Your Log with tail -f
If you want to continually follow your log, you can use
tail -f $HOME/Procmail/pmlog
To start tailing with the last 50 lines of the log, use
tail -n 50 -f $HOME/Procmail/pmlog
which on my system is equivalent to
tail -50 -f $HOME/Procmail/pmlog
To quit live monitoring your log, type
CTRL-C
If you want to be able to run other commands while the tail is happening, use & to put it in the background:
tail -f $HOME/Procmail/pmlog &
To learn about tail, see man tail.
Another tail option is to use Paul Chvostek's ProcMail Log Watch (pmlw), which is an �awk script that tails your procmail log file, summarizing results and giving you basic traffic statistics, live.�
