Use S to (s)ave, not E to (e)xport, they will be saved in a folder name 
'saved-messages', although you can change that.

I mistakenly saved a number of old messages to a unix system file using 
the export command and now find I can't use pine to read them. Can I 
convert this file into a folder file? 

What is the best way to store your old messages so that they can be 
retrieved if you need them again?

Thanks,

Rich Freeman

If its on a Unix system, you can move them to the mail directory and then 
read them....

mv <filename> mail/
