I have about 6000 messages in my inbox, on a FreeBSD server that I
access through telnet and read messages directly from the server using
PINE.  I would like to forward all of the mail in the inbox to my new
G-Mail account.  However, since G Mail does not current allow POP3
connections, there's no way to pull all of these messages into my G
Mail account through the G-Mail interface.  So I guess I have to push
all these messages from the other side to my G-Mail account.

I already have a .forward file set up, but this only forwards new mail
sent to this account, not messages in my PINE inbox.  I know about
fetchmail, but this only gets mail from other servers, and I want to
do the opposite.

Is there any script or program I can use to send all of these messages
over to G-Mail?

There is no answer at this time.

You might want to try this: http://www.marklyon.org/gmail/
I'm not sure if it works on UNIX though.

While that did not work, I found this link on the page that looks like
it will do the trick:
