Is this good IMAP support something new? In 2013, and maybe 2018 and
2020, I tried getting Alpine working, on my Daily Driver Desktop, with
the Dovecot IMAP server on my Daily Driver Desktop. I don't remember
the details, but it pulled up very few of my folders from Dovecot.
Maybe those folders weren't subscribed, but Claws-Mail and Evolution
pulled up the right folders easily.

I'm using Claws-Mail and Evolution, depending on which is having a
problem on a given day. I'd love to add Alpine to my collection of
email clients. 

Thanks,
