I've never used pine, but you caught my interest somehow. :)

I've now learned that pine uses MBX format which is one I've never tried.

Google helps report that there is a program named mbxcvt in the 
imap-utils package that should help. I don't see that with some quick 
apt-cache searching, but I'm guessing that has to do with something 
tucked in non-free, since pine is defined as non-free software.

Good luck.

Peace.
