You didn't mention which version of Pine you are using nor the platform
(some people seem to persist in using archaic versions!).  However from your
message headers it seems to be 3.96, so...

Go to the Setup Configuration screen and look through for the
"enable-incoming-folders" feature.  Put your cursor on this and type "?" to
see the on-line help about it.

Then turn the feature on and return to the List Folders screen ("L" command)
and set up the names of your additional incoming folders.

Although Pine doesn't automatically poll these for new mail it is very easy
to do a manual check: simply press the Tab key.  This will advance you to
the next New message in the current folder.  When there are no more it will
then offer to search subsequent folders set up in the incoming collection. 
If it finds a folder with new messages it will then offer to let you open it
and view them.  After the last folder Pine offers to return you to the
INBOX.

Cheers,

Mike Brudenell
