I'm in the process of setting up pine and need some guidance. PINE is the
mailreader I use. My questions are:

1)How do I verify that Pine is pointed to /Mail?

Last time I looked at pine you could do it from the 'config' selection
under 'setup'.  Look for "folder-collections".  Before you do that,
why not just use $HOME/mail?  Procmail doesn't care.


2)What do I need to configure in PINE/procmail so that mail will be
directed to folders, i.e. folders I've created in PINE for mailing lists?

Write recipes.  For example:

    MAILDIR = $HOME/Mail    # chdir to $HOME/Mail.  Could also be $HOME/mail

    # Recipes start with a line that starts ":0".  The second colon on
    # this line tells procmail to use a locallockfile when delivering.
    # Check out the procmailrc(5) manpage for the details of recipe syntax.
    # The second line of this recipe is a regular expression that matches
    # the "From " line on messages from the procmail mailing list itself.
    # The last line tells procmail to deliver the message to the "procmail"
    # mailbox in the current directory.
