Why when I create a new incoming mail folder called something like
Mail/fwall.mbox does it also creates another folder called fwall.mbox.
I cannot delete this unless I touch ~/fwall.mbox and then delete
it.

Then... when I quit and restart Pine there it is again 8^}

Dunno Kevin - I just jump out to my shell and do a % rm -rf <folder.name> 
and that works fine.  touch seems to work better on SVR4 boxes than BSD
implementations for me, but I may just be a klutz :->
