I totally agree. I was just looking for a simple way to organize my 
messages from various mailing lists into folders. One problem I have 
having done so is that I have to check the folders manully to see if there 
are any new messages there. Forgive me for asking - is there a way in pine 
to be notified that a given folder contains new mail (like that they are 
displayed in bold or whatever)?

I still like pine a lot though :)
