I get roughly 350+ a day in 16 different mboxen. Pine will let you
have as many "Incomming" folders as you like, and will subcatagorize
them into a special class. You have two sets of folders...

1) Inboxes
2) Mailfolders

When in one of the Inboxes, all you do to check the other folders for
mail is press [tab], and it will cycle through each one sequentially
in the order you specify them (Most to least important, whatever)
checking for "new" mail.

Mailfolders are just there for storage. Since Linus uses pine,
it's adventageous...
