If I understand the FAQ right you should specify the inbox like this in
the configurations:

{your-pop3-server/pop3}INBOX

BUT they also say that the pop client in pine access the POP server using
a quasi-online mode, not in OFFLINE mode as POP was designed for.

I will try to port the FetchPop package later. 

My Boot disk has some problems on the TT so I have to fix that first!
