Why not use an IMAP server? Run one locally and deliver to that [via LMTP] then access the mail via IMAP. You avoid allot of permissions, format, and concurrency issues. <http://cyrusimap.org/> > Incoming mail is never included.

Because otherwise [Maildir, MH, ...] your mail spool *is* expected to be a directory [of many files] and not a single file [which is what Mbox is]. MBOX is an old format fraught with concurrency and scale issues; you should use something else, regardless of the mail client. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
