You can configure Alpine to execute Dovecot's imap binary and talk to it. That makes it work nicely with Dovecot and won't prompt the user for a password. If you're using v1.x you can run "dovecot --exec-mail imap" and with v2.0 you just need to run "imap". I don't know specifically what this setting in Alpine is called.
