PC-Pine - reading local mbox files

Hello,

I'm using PC-Pine for Windows. I'd like to read mbox mailboxes stored
on my local computer. On *nix systems, as I perceived, this is the
default option for Pine - the MAIL environmental variable contains the
path to the user's mbox (for example: "/var/mail/whateverusername"),
and Pine reads that file to collect incoming messages.

I'd like to do the same with PC-Pine, but it seems, it insists to
contact POP3/IMAP servers to get incoming messages. Well, I don't need
to connect to any POP3 or IMAP servers, because my mailbox is right
here on my local computer. I've tried to set the inbox-path to "inbox"
(deleting any references to POP3 servers), and I've set up an
environmental variable like "MAIL=C:\SMTPSERVER\mail\user", but it
simply doesn't work.

Is the feature of reading local mbox files supported by PC-Pine, as it
is by the traditional *nix Pine versions? If so, how can I set PC-Pine
to obtain messages from a local file?


Thanks in advance,
MegaBrutal
