I have tried to set the variable folder-collections to many values without

If you are going to use Alpine exclusively to manage your folders try these:

folder-collections="Nick Name" #mc/INBOX.[],
        "Another Nick" #mc/INBOX.mail.[]

The first one gives you access to all folders under inbox, the second to all folders under mail.

Not what I hoped to achieve :-(
When I press "l" to go to Folder list, I get:


    Nick Name
        Local folders in #mc/Maildir.

    Another Nick
        Local folders in #mc/Maildir.mail.

that is like what I can already have with the setting:
folder-collections="Locali" #mc/Maildir/.[]
whit a one more selection level ...

instead of my old (current "mbox" based server), usual:

INBOX sent-mail saved-messages .imap/ 1807Spam 1808Spam 181025 190623 190923 1999/ 2000/ 2001/ 2002/ 2003/ 2004/ 2005/ 2006/ 2007/ 2008/ 2009/ Isp09 Italo Lux Lux-0 Mailman.log NetData SMART Spam Trash1904 Trash1905 Trash1906 Trash1907 Trash1910 Trash1911 Trash1912 Trash2001 Trash2002 Trash2003


In my mind, if I can tell Alpine to consider ~/Maildir/ like is "basedir" instead of ~/ I can have what I want. In my experimentations I found that renaming my folders from their current name ~/Maildir/.mail.FOLDER-NAME or ~/Maildir/.mail.FOLDER-NAME.SUB-FOLDER-NAME
to ~/Maildir/.FOLDER-NAME and ~/Maildir/.FOLDER-NAME.SUB-FOLDER-NAME
seems to solve the problem, but I have 1500+ folders and I can do it only when I will finish the server migration and don't need more sync from old and new server. I noticied this situation is limited to the few accounts that have used Pine/Alpine in the years and have the folders created under the ~/mail/ dir.


Thanks,
                         Paolo
