Hi,
my current access to both pine and alpine are tied to shellworld entirely,
or via the dreamhost shell service provided to my office.
There is indeed a pine for DOS.
The question seems to be if it can be configured to access gmail,
including passing any security related factors?
My absolute goal is full access to my gmail inbox, if I must use another
provider, I must be able to input those contents for personal, legal, and
professional reasons. if alpine can do this, can not some of the
associated tools be incorporated into pine?
Where would I find the answers to this

Anyone know of either an email service that incorporates these lower graphics
Is using pine a possibility? (I think there was a DOS port of that.)
That sounds much less overhead and much more reliability than a web
interface, and in addition, your interface to the mail system will
continue to just be the same pine you’re using (or with minimal changes
over years in the case of alpine).
If you have access to a pine/alpine at your shellserver and find it
usable for yourself, you can set it up to access multiple eMail
providers (as long as they support IMAP) as well.
lynx-usable webmail is so niche that I wouldn’t invest too much
effort into finding anything there (plus even things that are lynx-
accessible now need not continue to do so, I suffered from a bank
stopping that for online banking).
Good luck,

Wish I had pine to hand :-( I'll give lynx a try, thanks.
