Well: I am working with Maildir mailstores, so I guess I need to have a uidlist kinda file then? Sorry it wasn't clear in my post that I am using Maildir style mailboxes... But I figured maildir was better than Mbox over nfs...
Maildir is much better over NFS and you would need the uidlist file since you can't use indexes.
My current setup is with postgresql and Maildir. So in a way, a lot of info COULD come from my database, if it isn't safe enough via nfs.
Well, I was thinking of supporting PostgreSQL/Oracle mailstores too. Mail bodies could optionally be stored outside the database as files.
Can you make all file locking configurable? Or will you do it on a "per-type" basis? (eg: mailbox locking, index locking, flag-file locking, etc).
I'll add option to specify if we want NFS-safe locking for .subscriptions and .customflags files. But it isn't really high priority now.
