Howdy!!
You need to use a little beasty called procmail, which will sort your mail
as sendmail puts it in your /var/spool/mail directory from a fetchmail
check.
You can use this extremely versatile program for a host of things, but,
most commonly it is used for just this purpose.
The documentation on procmail is confusing and obscure, but I think all
you need to do with it, is make a configuration file, which lives in your
home directory called ".procmailrc" You'll need to check documentation
for the proper syntax for this file, but basically, you define a "thang"
for it to use as a qualifier for each "filter" you want to create, then
tell it where mail that matches that qualifier should go..(ie a pine
mailbox)...
I know I wasn't much help, but perhaps I've pointed you in the right
direction anyway.
