Umm. Last I tried, it worked fine with NFS.. It's updated by creating
first a temp file and them rename()ing it over the original file. Unless
you're using 0.99.x, then it's done differently I think.

That also means then that if you're running Dovecot in multiple servers,
the subscription file isn't kept in sync between them.

With maildir it should perhaps be in controldir, but with mboxes it
really doesn't belong to indexes, because it's kind of important data
that shouldn't be lost. Maybe I should add controldir setting to mboxes
too.
