Well, you can read the many messages on this topic from someone who
will remain nameless, but who's name rhymes with "Maul Pixie".
In the scenario that he who shall remain nameless presented, I can
definitely see the need for it. In this case, nmh is running on the same
server where the mail is stored, and it would be nice to have both
command-line access with nmh and remote access with IMAP.
If one wants to access a Maildir from multiple locations (e.g. IMAP
server, mutt, nmh, whatever), then it would seem worthwhile to discuss
Maildir support for nmh.
(and while our mailstore has a number of advantages, it also has a
number of disadvantages).
Is there a documented pros/cons discussion of MH mailstore vs Maildir.
They do have similar structures in that a Maildir stores individual
messages in individual files. I've often wondered what I might gain from
switching to Maildir (it's benefits are clear with respect to locking
and crash prevention).
Thanks,
Andy
