I will try to check whether this is the case.  You mean the NFS client 
(FreeBSD kernel) caching, not the server (NetApp), right?  Something 
like this happening on the server seems not to make any sense to me.

However I doubt that, as I've never had anything like that happening (we 
use FreeBSD and NFS all the time) - I'm using FreeBSD 5.4 on my 
workstation too, and there when reading mail (with mutt) I always see 
new mail.
