Hi,
/etc/pine.conf and /etc/pine.conf.fixed are "ghost" files in the RPM SPEC:
%ghost %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/pine.conf
%ghost %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/pine.conf.fixed
This means it's normal to be missing, but if there is a system defined pine.conf it won't be replaced.
In any case, it sounds like you want to set both the INBOX and local mail directory paths in /etc/pine.conf which would be something like this:
inbox-path=~/otherinbox
mail-directory=~/mydir/
folder-collections=local ~/mydir/[], ... {IMAP etc...}
Please read over the alpine docs regarding the subtle differences between each.
I also recommend trying alpine-2.10 which was recently packaged for F20:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=441044
The RPM installs and works on F19 in my testing, e.g:
yum localinstall alpine-2.10-3.fc20.x86_64.rpm
Alternatively you can build from src (also downloadable from koji).
