  Well, as I can be wrong sometimes, just launched another user with
  --alternate-config-dir over my home config, then tried to launch:

$ /opt/claws/bin/claws-mail 
can't bind to /tmp/claws-mail-49d77610f1335082091e3ebdd4979d7f: Address already in use

  So, no, two users cannot share config if you remove uid from socket
  name, sorry.
