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,
