Subject: Add folder-collections?

In three months using PINE, I've amassed about 60 different folders for 
saved messages.  Right now, they are all housed in the original default 
"Folders-collection'' folder list.

Is it possible to subdivide my "Folders-collection" into 5 or 10 
different "folders collections"?  For example, there would be one 
complete folder-collection for messages to relatives called "Family", 
with separate folders for each person.  Perhaps another for some of my 
favorite newsgroup postings called "Newsgroup", divided by topic.  
Another folder-collection would be for professional correspondence, with 
separate folders for each business contact. And so on.

How can I create these additional Folder-collections?  How can I name 
them?  And Can I transfer messages from one folder-collection into another?

Certainly is.  Go to Setup/Config from the Pine main menu.  There is 
a listing for folder-collections.  Simply put the directories you want 
there.

Using your example above, the folder-collections list would be:

folder-collections     = mail/[]                                                
                         mail/Family/[]                                   

>them?  And Can I transfer messages from one folder-collection into another?

Simply create a directory, and copy any existing folders to that directory.
Then add the directory to your folder-collections as above.  A sample of 
my folder collections is below:
