The folder index screen shows you an index of all the messages in the folder. The very top bar shows information about the folder: what the name of the folder is and how many messages it has. The example above shows a folder set up for correspondence with one specific person, to which received as well as sent messages are saved; you can set up your folders however they make it easier for you to organize your messages. By default, Pine puts messages you save from your INBOX into a folder called saved-messages, and saves a copy of messages you send into a folder called sent-mail.

Each message gets one line on the index screen. That line contains:

Message Status: The following codes give you information about the current status of the message.
+ - The message was sent directly to you (not a cc: or email list).
A - The message has been answered.
D - The message is marked for deletion.
N - The message is new and unread.
X - The message is selected (for aggregate operations).
* - The message has been flagged as important.
Message Number.
Date Received or Sent.
Sender (for received messages) or Recipient (for sent messages).
Message Size: The number in parentheses is the size of the message, plus any attachments, in bytes (characters).
Subject: As much of the subject as will fit on the screen.

As with every Pine screen, the bottom two lines show you the commands available.
