If I go to Folder list I get

INBOX[.]        sent-mail[.]    231221[.]       Sent[.]         dead_letter[.]  mail[.]

Similar result of using:

folder-collections="Locali" #mc/Maildir/.[]

That give:

INBOX       sent-mail   231221      Sent        dead_letter mail[.]

A little better ...

My only problem is tjhat I want the folder collection that are accessible 
from "mail[.]" and are in  ~/Maildir visualized in the main folder list.
Also, Alpine is creating The new folders in ~ (home), instead than in 
~/Maildir, an it is creating it in mbox format.
