That worked, except that when I select the folder Gmail which contains the 
Archive folder I get a message stating that I am browsing "the empty 
folder Gmail."

Gmail uses the Gmail IMAP folder to list functional folders.

The folder Gmail isn't empty; it contains several functional folders such 
as Archived Messages, Sent Messages and Deleted Items.

How do I make Alpine list the subfolders instead of telling me that the 
folder "Gmail" is empty?
