This is not a compile time option. Look at the config subsection in the
setup section. Or edit .pinerc directly. The line you want (from .pinerc)
is
# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
inbox-path=
comp.mail.pine is in general the place to get Pine questions answered. HTH.
