It works with IMAP only when IMAP is using maildir format; IMAP can work 
very well with mbox format as well, but then not on NFS.

"sorta-kind-a-almost"?  We've had very good results with maildir format; 
I know one ISP that has over a half-million mailboxes on a filestore in 
maildir format. That's a bit better than "sort-kind-a-almost" in my 
book <smile>.

But alas, not with a RaQ, unless you do major surgery.
