Right now I opened a second alpine with no complain. I use an alternate 
config file, with this key change:

cer at Telcontar:~> grep inbox-path .pinerc-gmx
inbox-path={localhost/novalidate-cert/user=cer}INBOX
cer at Telcontar:~> alpine -p /home/cer/.pinerc-gmx


Of course, if you open two alpines with the same config file and both try 
to save configs, things would get interesting. My use case is that I have 
done a change to one of the folders because of a filtering problem:

 	"imap Gmx L"    {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=... at gmx.es}INBOX,
 	"imap F Gmx L"  {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=... at gmx.es/loser}INBOX,

"loser" does the filtering locally, but it is very slow.
