Pine does not do this by itself. The docs state that Pine will support
this, by allowing you to define multiple folders for incoming mail, but it
won't do the filtering for you. You need to use something like procmail,
which is available in .deb format from ftp.debian.org. Procmail is very
easy to set up. For example, here's a sample of my .procmailrc, which
sends all mail from the Debian mailing list to a special folder:
:0:
* ^To.*debian-user@lists.debian.org
./mail/archive/debianuser
:0:
* ^Cc.*debian-user@lists.debian.org
./mail/archive/debianuser
This procmail "recipe" grabs all messages with the "To: " or "Cc: " header
being debian-user@lists.debian.org, and places them in
./mail/archive/debianuser. Pine has been setup so that it treats this
file as an incoming mail folder (in addition to the default INBOX).
Procmail is powerful, easy to configure, and well documented. When you
install it, you'll get the procmail man pages, and other manpages called
procmailex, which are examples of procmail recipes.
Good luck.
