What you are probably looking for is in the alpine configuration (setup -> configure) the 'Hide Empty Directories' option which you have to turn on.

It corresponds to the 'quell-empty-directory' in pinerc

Hope it helps.

Hi Wolfgang,

You are right, that option should have taken care of [/] directory after each folder , however for some reason it doesn't and I don't understand why. One update however with #md implementation is that I just tried one more thing in my alpine configuration and [/] has vanished after that so probably I don't have to configure for password-less alpine on the email server.

Here is the specific configuration from my /etc/pine.conf or .pinerc

1. maildir-location=../../Mail/${LOGNAME} #folder-collections=Mail {localhost/novalidate-cert/ssl/user=${LOGNAME}}[] <---- Commented.
2. folder-collections=Mail #md/../../Mail/${LOGNAME}/.[]

With this configuration, all folders appear fine. Folders :

INBOX sent-mail saved-messages ABC PINE_FOLDER Queue Sent Trash sent-mail-apr-2011

In addition, I am going to change sent messages and saved messages setting as below so that when users are migrated from ~/mail to /Mail/user/ (maildir) format then their newly sent emails and saved messages also continue to go into /Mail/user/.sent-mail and /Mail/user/.saved-messages folder respectively.

default-fcc=sent-mail default-saved-msg-folder=saved-messages

Thank you everyone for their inputs. Appreciate it. UG
