from any user ?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about PINE.  The
answer can be found among other PINE FAQs at

http://www.washington.edu/pine/QandA/FAQs.html 

	or at

ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/docs/FAQs.txt

and I have also appended it to this message for your convenience.  The
technical support people at your university should be able to help you set
up filtering mechanisms.

How can I filter messages into different incoming folders?

Pine does not perform delivery filtering; that is the function of other
programs, such as (on Unix hosts) "procmail" or "mailagent." For details
on selection and configuration of such programs, see the Filtering Mail FAQ
(by Nancy McGough) at one of the following locations: 

ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/mail/filtering-faq
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/mail/filtering-faq/faq.html
ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/ii/internet/filtering_mail_faq.txt

Once you have successfully set up your delivery filtering, you will have
new mail arriving in several different folders, in addition to your INBOX.
You can then access these folders just like any other mail folder. You can
also define a collection of incoming message folders in Pine, through which
you can then TAB to read new messages. For more information, see Pine's
internal help on the enable-incoming-folders feature in Pine's SETUP
CONFIGURATION menu.
