Avoid! Please do not edit any hidden configuration option unless 
you understand completely what you are doing.

The best way to change the nickname (or do any configuring) of a 
collectionList is to use:

  Main > Setup > collectionLists

i.e.:

  1. Type MSL

Then do this:

  2. Use your arrow key to select the "Mail" collection, which 
is the current nickname of your Local collection.

  3. Type C to change it.

  4. In the Nickname field, type ^K to kill (delete) the current 
nickname.

  5. In the Nickname field, type:

        Local mail directory (only for emergency use)

  6. Do NOT change the Server, Path, or View fields because they 
are currently working and you don't want to mess them up.

  7. Type ^X to exit and save.

  8. Quit and restart Pine.

  9. Type ML to go to List your collections.

  10. Open each collection and make sure that they are working 
as you want/expect.

Let me know how it goes,
