Are you using imapd/ipopd from the upstream pine distribution or the
(unofficial) debianized version?
imapd and ipopd is based on the c-client library. The mbox driver in
c-client uses $HOME/mbox by default. You will have to recompile it to use
$HOME/mail/mbox.
The debian libc-client4.7 package has instructions for doing so in
README.Debian
