Configuration is per /home/USER/.pinerc files, and there you configure you want maildir,
individually. For all new users, you could use /etc/skel/.

Then, you can create global configuration files. Per the man page:

       /usr/local/lib/pine.info    Local pointer to system administrator.
       /usr/local/lib/pine.conf    System-wide configuration file.
       /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed Non-overridable configuration file.


The man says how to create a sample/initial global configuration file.
