If you want to do this as a systemwide default, the easiest way is to edit
env_unix.c and change the value of mbx_protection.

At least this is what you do in the latest imap-4.1 toolkit.  Pine 3.94 is
very old, and probably uses imap-3.5.  It looks like mbx_protection is in
dummy.c instead of env_unix.c in that old version.
