If you want bi-directional synchronisation between two IMAP servers
you'll need to use something like isync:

http://isync.sourceforge.net/

and, of course, the second IMAP server needs to be capable of correctly
handling the SEARCH function.

Yes, alpine will take the config file to use as a command line
argument:

  -p config-file      Use config-file as the personal configuration file
                      instead of the default .pinerc.

so you can set up a specific configuration file -- .pinerc-gmx --
for this particular case and then set up a shell function or shell
script for ease of use.  Something simple like:

alpine-gmx () { alpine -p ~/.pinerc-gmx "$@"; }

as a shell function should suffice.

This might seem a little crude and basic.  However I suspect it'll
be easier than getting two separate IMAP servers synchronised.
