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.


You just tell Alpine the imap server and folder to use, same as with any external mail server. Not the local path.

Example:

folder-collections="local imap" {localhost/novalidate-cert/user=YOURSER}[],

If I go to Folder list I get

INBOX[.]        sent-mail[.]    231221[.]       Sent[.]         dead_letter[.]  
mail[.]

Similar result of using:

folder-collections="Locali" #mc/Maildir/.[]

That give:

INBOX       sent-mail   231221      Sent        dead_letter mail[.]

A little better ...

My only problem is tjhat I want the folder collection that are accessible from "mail[.]" and are in ~/Maildir visualized in the main folder list. Also, Alpine is creating The new folders in ~ (home), instead than in ~/Maildir, an it is creating it in mbox format.
