It's telling you exactly what's wrong. qmail will not deliver to a
directory where someone else can blow away your .qmail files and
create their own. Unfortunately, some Linux distributions with a
"single person per group" setup can cause qmail to complain, since it
doesn't like group writable any more than world writable. You have
two choices; change the permissions on your home directory or tell
qmail what mask you want it to complain about (conf-patrn). This has
been discussed in the list before, and so should be in the archives.
As for pine, install mutt. mutt knows how to read maildirs, and is a
better client than pine.
