The problem is that that would allow two different programs to rewrite
delete etc from your incoming mail and making a complete mess of the
INBOX, probably causing you to lose all of the mail in your
inbox. If you are running two versions of alpine, the two versions of
alpine do not talks to each other (that would be a real mess to program)
and could completely mess up the inbox. (They do talk only to the extent
of one telling the other that it is also running, so the old one can
convert to read only so you do not mess up the inbox.

You could just use two different readers for mail and for news groups.
Eg, pine for mail and slrn for news groups. 

(I suggest slrn since it is really fast in downloading the news)
