Subject: elm folders in pine?

I just recently switched from Elm as a mail reader to pine.  Now, I have 
lots of mail folders already set up under Elm....  Is it at all possible 
to put all my elm folders and pine folders in the same place and allow 
pine to access my old elm folders? (did that make sense?)  Basically, can 
Pine use my Elm folders.

Yes, Pine can read the folders set up my elm. Here is what you need to do:

Pine, by default saves mail folders in a folder called mail (small m) and 
elm used Mail (large M) or maybe it's the other way around. The point 
being that UNIX sees these as two different folders. Choose which one you 
want to use and move all of your mail folders into that directory.

Then check your .pinerc to make sure that pine will be looking in that 
directory for your saved mail.
