Pine's folder list screen is designed to give you easy access to all your email folders. When you first start Pine, you will only have a few folders, all on the same host. In that case, your folder list screen looks something like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- | PINE 3.96 FOLDER LIST Folder: INBOX 0 Messages | | | | INBOX sent-mail saved-messages | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ? Help M Main Menu P PrevFldr - PrevPage D Delete R Rename | | O OTHER CMDS V [ViewFldr] N NextFldr Spc NextPage A Add | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Eventually, that folder list may grow to the point where is makes sense to arrange folders into collections. For people who use multiple folders on multiple hosts for multiple purposes, the folder list might look a lot more complicated. For example, this is the folder list screen for a user who has multiple inboxes (through filtering by an external system; Pine itself does not perform any mail filtering), a local collection of folders to save messages from those inboxes into after reading, another local collection for mail to/from specific correspondents, and also a news collection on another host than the one Pine is running on.
