I said by the community. Due to licensing mandrake(the company) wont even 
touch pine. Go look for plf. They are a bunch of guys like me that support 
things not normally distributed due to licensing issues. They have stuff that 
supports dvd and a whole slew of things there. For the most part if it is 
something you want but is considered to have questionable license then it can 
most likely be found there.

Pine is one of the packages there and they have patched it with maildir 
support. I also should be a little more precise. I'm not sure what version of 
pine it is and I dont really care as it offers what I need. By active I was 
saying that they keep a version of pine compiled for each new version of 
mandrake and at least it does have a working maildir support. 

It may be the latest for all I know but it works so I dont care. I'm sorry but 
you can only do so much with an email program the rest is just overload. 
After I started looking at the options for mutt that thing might as well be 
sendmail (from what I have heard of sendmail. No experiance with it myself).
