Though my Ubuntu system mounts an NTFS filesystem via Fuse, I've never looked into how Fuse works. I also haven't looked into the IMAP+MH systems, though I'm hoping to.
I wanted to send a note about a couple of design features in nmh/MH that might be useful in this discussion: 1) One of the great things about nmh/MH is that it can use filesystem links (hard links, not symbolic links) to make a message appear in more than one folder without taking any extra disk space... and changes to the message (like new header fields from "anno") will appear in all of the "copies" of the message. Of course, every one of those linked messages has to be on the same physical filesystem; that's how hard links work. 2) nmh/MH can access more than one filesystem. The primary filesystem, the one listed on the "Path:" entry in the MH profile, is the one you get when you use a command like "folder +somefolder". But you can also access other filesytems with commands like "folder +/some/folder". For example: $ folder DELETE+ has 1 message (1-1); cur=1; (others). $ scan +/tmp/inbox 1 Aug05 To:jp...@somehost Software to get<<http://www.windowsdevcenter. 2 Aug05 To:w...@anotherho Re: a request to use Brno photos <<Walt, you $ folder /tmp/inbox+ has 2 messages (1-2). $ folder @../otherfolder /tmp/otherfolder+ has 10 messages (2-11). I'd hope that an IMAP message store could be used either as the primary set of folders, or as a secondary set using folder paths starting with +/, or both. In case this is useful...
