This is the design. Although you obviously disagree with it. The Draft 
folder is created when needed (a message needs to be postponed and 
there is no Draft folder) and removed when "not needed" (no more postponed 
messages exist). I imagine the ratinale for this is so that you do not get 
to the situation where you are asked to continue postponed messages in an 
empty Draft folder. Testing for the existence of messages in a folder may 
be expensive over IMAP.

There is no workaround for this behavior. This is the way that Alpine 
behaves.
