Folder collections are places to store folders. They roughly correspond to a filesystem directory. Collections may be local or remote, but they must correspond to a pre-existing filesystem directory. That is, Pine will not create any directory other than the original default.
A valid local collection is just the specification of a directory on the local system followed by square brackets. For example, exhibit/[].
Pine also allows you to access a collection on a remote computer (provided it supports IMAP and you have the right to store folders on it). To specify a remote folder collection, you need to give the name of the IMAP mail server, the name of the collection on that server, and the square brackets. For instance, {wharhol.art.nowhere.edu}art-101/[] is a remote collection. As you can tell, the name of the computer is in {} brackets followed immediately by the name of the collection.
The following defines the collection syntax:
{optional-imap-hostname}optional-directory-path[]
