I have never used pc pine but what you want can be done very easily with 
pine on your shell and pegasus on your pc, both work very well together as 
pegasus gives you the option to remove mail from your shell after 
downloading or leave it there.
I use pine 70% of the time but messages I want to keep or reply to offline 
I pick up with pegasus.

This is my situation: I have both a ppp and shell account with my ISP.
I use the PPP account for everything but mail, which I do using pine
on the shell account. The reason I do this is so that I can telnet in
from other locations if I am away from home and still have access to
all my old mail. It is important that I always have my mail collection
available wherever I log in from.

I would also like to keep a complete record of my mail on my PC as
well as on my ISP shell account. Using PC pine could I use this as the
reader I use during my PPP session (at home) and make this so that any
new mail is copied to both the shell and the PC-Pine directory?

This way I'll always have a copy of my mail when at home using
PC-Pine, whether I am logged on or not and I will also have a mail
record for when I am away and have to telnet into the shell.
