Pine reads mail once it has been delivered.

To redirect mail into different folders you need to intercept the actualyl 
delivery process itself.  This is not done by Pine, but your system's 
mail delivery program.  For example on a lot of UNIX systems this is 
called "sendmail".

Typically you will have to set up a redirection file (often called 
".forward", which lives in your home directory) to send arriving messages 
through a program that will look at the content and decide what to do 
with it (eg, where to file it).

An example of such a program is the "procmail" package.  If not already 
on your computers it can be obtained via anonymous ftp from a number of 
archive sites.
