More on mail

Gena!

It seems as though you should really spend some time with the pine
configuration menue.  This was the only way I could figure out how I
needed to setup pine to work the way I wanted.  

I also use procmail to sort my folders.  This will put your mail in a
folder in your home directory actually.  In my case there is a directory
called mail that has all of my different mailboxes.  

If you have any more questions do ask!
