We use pine here on this machine, what's needed is:
($:~)- cat /etc/pine.conf | grep -A 3 -B 3 MailBox
# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
inbox-path=~/MailBox
# List of incoming msg folders besides INBOX, e.g. ={host2}inbox,
{host3}inbox
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-host-name}folder-path
also, make sure that your NEW users do not currently have a pine.conf or
if so, you need to modify it.
Also, you will get an error if a MailBox file does not exist, but just
send mail to the user or touch the MailBox file with the proper perms and
that will fix it.
