This is the mailing-list of the Alpine Linux distribution, not the
Alpine mail user agent program.  I do not know about Alpine MUA.

 |Just to be OK on the headlines, you say that:
 |- if I go "S" + "L" + set non empty path (/home/user/mail) in the list

But i would say it allows to freely assign key bindings as all
others do, so knowing about the actual functions would be an
improvement.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
In general the IMAP server usually "is" the mailbox, and is
accessed, an internet connection provided, as if it is a local
mailbox.  MUAs download parts of the messages as you are looking
at them, some have local caches to keep that data around.

 |- Then from alpine I can create a folder and move a mail into it

If it can the former, you can simply access the IMAP mailbox as if
it would be a local folder.

 |- Then (when I quit alpine ?) the folder and moved mail will be
 |   replicated on the IMAP server

That is hard to believe, but like i have said, i do not know about
Alpine.  But automatic replication in between a regular local
mailbox and an IMAP mailbox somewhere else usually requires
special software, which (i would say) just compares folder
contents and performs synchronization, then.
