 You just tell Alpine the imap server and folder to use, same as with any
 external mail server. Not the local path.

You can get the best of both worlds: using Dovecot to access your mail, but taking advantage of the fact that you're on the same local host and skipping the network connection and the authentication. This is both the safest option and the most performant option (fastest startup times, fastest searching and sorting, etc), especially for very large maildirs.

It is not the safest, actually. Chances are, where there is Dovecot in the mix, that mail can be accesses at the same time by more than one program. Accessing via the imap server ensures concurrent yet safe access.
