I think the important question is what exactly do you want to do. 
Do you want to:
1. read email offline by using an offline email reader
OR
2. use pine as an offline mail reader

The approach and the solution will depend on your question.
Question 1 is more general and is easier to solve.

I assume that you are not using Windows. If you were, Outlook Express
solves your problem. 

And I don't know anything about Hamster or Mercury. Have you tried
a newsgroup search and seen if other users are discussing them?

If you are on a non-Windows, non-Apple system, check out 'fetchmail'.
You can get it at: http://tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/
It looks like it can do everything you want. It doesn't do 
NNTP but you could setup INN (http://www.isc.org/products/INN/)
for that.

If I misunderstood your question, please re-word it and provide
more details (Windows or not etc.).
