I've had this happen when two processes attempt to access the INBOX at the same time. I think when both are attempting to gain exclusive write access. In my case, my alpine runs on my mail server so I'm not sure how this applies to your setup. It might be that exchange/windows file access control is more restrictive than what alpine experiences on Linux. My error is associated with alpine as one process and my imap server as another. On Linux, mail delivery doesn't seem to cause a problem.
