Others have told you how to get mutt to read mail from an arbitrary location,
so I won't cover that here, but I felt the need to clear something up that's
implied by the above statement.
Pine, mutt, elm, etc are nothing more than mail -readers-. They have nothing
to do with where or -how- mail is delivered. As readers, you can tell them to
archive messages in different files, obviously, but with regards to the
initial delivery method, location, and form, this has nothing to do with the
mail reader (mutt, pine, elm, etc) but is instead handled by processes such as
sendmail or qmail.
In other words, there's no such thing as 'pine-format' when it comes to
freshly delivered mail.
