Alpine has extensive online help if you use its configuration editor (rather than editing the config file directly). I'm not quite sure from your message, but I think you want to look at "Inbox Path" and "SMTP Server". Go to Setup->Config, then down to either of those options, then press "?" for the help. Both of those link to even more documentation.

"SMTP Server"), you'll find that Alpine treats a bare server name as an IMAP server. You can append "/POP3" to the end of the hostname to specify POP.
