Great notes on getting the newest pine working with Maildir.
One thing I noticed when I set mine up:

For me it was the opposite. "/home/$USER/Maildir" did not work whereas
"~/Maildir" did -- even for root.
I have no idea why it is opposite for us, but its just something to consider
and "one for the archives" as you say. ;-)
To make the change global for all users I added this to my
/usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed:
##Qmail Maildir Support##
inbox-path="~/Maildir/"
Thanks,
