Didn't had yet time to go into details and to test.

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
- IMAP will "initialize" mails from the server to the local
   /home/user/mail directory
- Then from alpine I can create a folder and move a mail into it
- Then (when I quit alpine ?) the folder and moved mail will be
   replicated on the IMAP server

Correct ?
