I've used Pine with Maildir successfully, even way back when I started
using qmail with Maildir.  There's an entry that needs to go in the
system-wide pine.conf for Maildir, which will propogate to all users, and
there is also a fix for your profile, which will make mail look at your
Maildir instead and notify you of new mail.

The above link is an example configuring Pine on FreeBSD to run with
Maildir from qmail, but I'm sure it's the same regardless of server types.

Running Windows is kinda like playing blackjack:
User stays on success, reboots on failure
