as a result,there are things I imagine alpine expects to find which is
not here. We are using imap for gmail, but my personal experience of
imap, based on dreamhost, still has a mail folder with saved
messages, sent mail, postponed messages probably spam etc.
and an imap folder which has other elements unique to dreamhost.
Which IMAP folders exist depends on the server. Whatever client software
you use just lets you access the IMAP folders that the server provides.
You may need to subscribe to specific folders to access them, depending
on the client.
Likewise, automatic classification of mail and moving it into folders is
typically accomplished by the server, for example using a Sieve script.
In my case, for example, I have created a Sieve script that
automatically delivers mail from various mailing lists into different
folders. Suspected spam goes into the "spam" folder, etc.
If you're using a commercial mail service rather than a server that you
control, hten obviously you lose some of that flexibility.
