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!
