Then, why are you trying to tell alpine to access the files directly, instead
of using dovecot?
I was supposing Alpine is using dovecot to access the folders (it
authenticate on startup), but probably there is some path/prefix that
need to be configured. And I can't find the configuration that give me a
normal operanting situation.

I personally prefer mbox over Maidir for historical reason and because I am
lazy and Maildir probably require me to revise all my old settings,
procmail rules, management scripts, ... but it is the de facto standard for
many configurations and it is better for backup/sync ...
Dovecot works fine with mbox.
I do not use Maildir.
Neither I, until now, but I want to align to all my other services/users.
