pine and propably your pop3 deamon are not supporting Maildir mbox formats
- for pine there is a patch at http://www.qmail.org/ [or use another
fine MUA like mutt ] and qmail distribution comes with an Maildir-based
pop3 deamon [check qmail-popup, qmail-pop3d and checkpassword man pages]
anyway you can always setup qmail to deliver messages to plaintext mbox -
do to this copy /var/qmail/boot/home to /var/qmail/rc
