Well, I use pine as well, and it's pretty simple to use. It has a nice
help-function built in, and it's pretty easy to set up. While setting it up, if
you don't understand a topic, you can just type "?" to get some explanation
about it.
It stores its mail in a different folder than netscape though. Netscape stores
in ~/.nsmail; pine in ~/mail. Also, pine is console-software, so don't expect
any graphical stuff.
It might be overwhelming at first, but after a while when you're used to it, it
behaves pretty well. Only thing I use netscape mailer for is for newsgroups.
