If you can send out mail (spooled/queued by sendmail ?!) why shouldn't
sendmail be able to receive and store mail properly ?!
If sendmail has problems delivering mail, then it certainly complains
about it _loudly_ in a system logfile ... so inpect them !
The syslog feature (see paths in /etc/syslog.conf) should point
you to interesting files ...
What's your mail directory ? /usr/spool/mail, /var/mail, ...
Look if the mails are there ... Try your systems native mail
commands for reference ...
BTW: there are pine ports for FreeBSD out ... if I remember right.
I had no problems to compile and install under SunOS 4.1.3_U1.
This for pine Version 3.89. What version are you using
(I suggest, you give us more details about your system and
mailer configuration ....)...
Perhaps pine needs to be re-configured for special paths ...
And ... _what_ BSD are you running ?????
