By default both Mutt and PINE use the so-called "mbox" format, so either one
should be able to read mailboxes generated by the other. No special options
needed.

Mutt has pretty reasonable defaults, so you are not _required_ to have a
config file. It's just nice to change things to your personal liking. PINE
is probably storing your spooled mail in a different location than Mutt
does. If you can find the file, you can set the Mutt variable $mbox to
point to that file.
