Ok, If I download the 2.25 source I can patch it without problem, so I 
suppose the patch was already applied.

I downloaded the 2.26 source and the corresponding maildir.patch.
Applied, Compiled alpine ignoring the rpm packaging, installed 
(replaced), binaries in the usual /usr/bin

Now I can delete a freshly created maildir folder without errors, but if I 
add more than one messagges, or try to delete an "old" folder I get:

[Can not remove #mc/INBOX.mail.240109/: Directory not empty]

In the disks I have something like this remaining:

dovecot-uidlist                         │  26627│Dec 18 00:09│
dovecot.index                           │   5684│Dec 18 11:34│
dovecot.index.cache                     │ 455352│Jan  8 19:06│
dovecot.index.log                       │   7464│Dec 20 12:56│
maildirfolder                           │      0│Dec 18 00:00|

and in my folder list now I can't have the list of folder/subfolder, only 
the folders at the firts level.
I suppose that restarting experimentations after a couple of weeks of 
other priorities I have done some mess ... :-(

For what I suppose are the relevant settings I have:

inbox-path={192.168.111.3/novalidate-cert}inbox
folder-collections="Locali" #mc/INBOX.mail.[]


My interest is to manage the converted maildir folders as I have done 
since early 90's with the mbox folders.
