Pine, Alpine and ELinks

Hello. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5. I am completely new to UNIX and also to command line. I'm trying to setup an email client and a web browser.

Google told me Pine was a good idea for email, so I got Pine. I thought it would be like other email clients, like Thunderbird, so that I can use IMAP with my Gmail account. But it doesn't look like that. When I send messages, they are from <myname>@r074177.fna.swh.mhn.de.

1) How did I get that email address? Is it mine forever? Will it change if I move to another country?

2) I want to set up IMAP/POP my Gmail account on Pine. Is that possible?

3) I also downloaded Alpine. But I only got a file called 'alpine-bin.osx-10.5' with no extension. What should I do with that file?

4) I have also downloaded ELinks <http://elinks.or.cz/download.html> and I got a folder with lots of files and I don't know how to install..

Help me! Or are there tutorials on things like these?
