Subject: How to convert Unix mail file to pine?

Having started out with SunOS' version of mail, I have a large file of
messages (mbox). I'd like to convert these to pine.  Pine seems to be able
to read them, but when I save and delete messages, they reappear in the
mail-created folder with dates "xxx"-ed.  Anyone know how to do the conversion?

As a related question, I'd like to have pine store my messages in order by
date of receipt, so when I open a folder, it's already in order.  I do not
want to have the folder sorted when it's opened, as this can take too long
(and is a waste of computer resources).  As far as I can tell, once a message
enters a folder, its physical position in the file is fixed.  Any ideas?
