Help.
Ok, I'm a LINUX new user and have tried to get the answer to this 
question from too many people... No luck in man pages or sysadmin.

Is there anyway to configure Pine to automatically place mail from 
certain users is their folders?  I.E. Mail from [email-masked] would be 
automatically put into folder BOB.

Email response is preferred, but a followup is fine; you all are doing me 
a favor, I'm not gonna complain.

Thanks alot,
Jon

Yes... in the Setup/Config screen find:

"saved-msg-name-rule" and set it to "by-recipient"

Note that this setting is also handy for saving newsgroup messages into a 
folder of the same (newsgroup) name.

>From what I understand putting incoming mail in appropriate folders is 
left up to third party programs what pine does is let you configure it to 
accept incoming mail of different types (i.e. different inboxes).

Take a look at the help page by selecting help on feature: 
enable-incoming-folders: (an excerpt)

NOTE: Pine does not do "delivery filtering"; this is the province of other
programs such as "filter" or "procmail".  Pine's Incoming Message Folders
collection provides a convenient way to access multiple incoming folders,
once they are created by other programs.  It is also useful if you have
accounts on multiple computers. 

Some of the other more experienced piners might care to comment...

Cheers, 
David.
