This says that you have 3 collections:

   Lserv (IMAP)
   FastMail (IMAP)
   $HOME/mail (on the local* system)

Since Lserv is first in your folder-collections list, it is 
currently** your "primary folder collection" -- bear that in mind 
as you read about Pine's incoming-folders and 
incoming-archive-folders.

Let me know if you have any questions about incoming-folders and 
incoming-archive-folders. My hope is that what I have written on 
my Power Pine page will help you to understand these and to set 
these up yourself *without my needing to walk you through the 
steps*.

Do not hesitate to ask questions. Please ask before you actually 
implement your incoming-folders and incoming-archive-folders 
because it is easy to screw things up (as you've discovered!).

Good luck!

*"Local" means the system on which Pine is running. In this case, 
your Lserv account is the local system because you are running 
Pine in an ssh window *on Lserv*.

**Note that reordering your folder-collections list will change 
your "primary folder collection"!
