I've been doing that for years.  You can run as many instances as you
want. Just open up multiple tabs on konsole, or whatever you use and login
to different userids for each one -- no messing around with alternate
configs, etc.  

When installing a new version of CM, rename the old one to indicate its
version (ie, claws-mail.3.8.0cvs26) and you can run old and new CM
versions simultaneously (diff userids of course) for debugging,
comparison, etc.

Years ago, when sharing a computer with my ex, I would fire up a 2nd
Xsession so that she could have her own environment -- switch with
Ctl+Alt+F{7.8}   ({8,9} more recently)

You could even do it with Windows if it's setup for multiple users and
you Switch User...
