Thank you very much for the quick confirmation. If I use #md in my configuration then alpine would show below error message [Can't open folder #md../../Maildir/mail/username/: no such folder] So I changed settings as below,(Note: maildir location in dovecot is /Maildir/mail/username and mail gets dropped there so there is no ~Maildir in users home directory) inbox-path=../../Maildir/mail/username/ maildir-location=../Maildir/mail/username folder-collections=Mail /Maildir/mail/username/.[] Now pine does not complain and I can read inbox and see folders, however one issue : [/] as a folder after every other actual folder , as below INBOX ABCD[/] Drafts[/] Queue[/] Saved[/] Sent[/] Trash[/] hello[/] I wonder if there is a way to configure such that [/] folder will not appear as this way user will have to hit tab twice to see next folder. If I hit enter key on [/] then there is nothing inside but a note saying it is a maildirfolder. If I select ABCD then it works as expected. Any idea? Thanks, UG
