I believe it is due to a lock/race condition with the Mailbox format, when you have alpine open (accessing the Mailbox) and an external client, e.g. Outlook
You are accessing the same mailbox locally with (Al)Pine and externally via Dovecot? Then you have to stop doing so and configure Pine to use IMAP, too, or configure Dovecot to use the same locking mechanism, which probably does not work with shared filesystems.
See: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking
or thunderbird. Yes, when both clients access the mailbox it usually locks up Outlook or alpine.. I suppose the maildir format may be the better option but alpine has issue with that format.?
Alpine does not support local access to Maildir.
If you prefer local access to the mailbox, switch to mutt, which supports Maildir. There is no locking problem with Maildir.
