  | I have concentrated my mail so that all my accounts forward incoming
  | mail to one machine. But I occasionally spend much time in other
  | machines, and thought it would be cool to be able to use vm and
  | ange-ftp to read mail across machines. Before I start making myself a
  | persona non grata among postmasters, I'd like to know if this can be
  | done safely and reliably. I'm using VM 5.31, soon 5.32, I believe.

I `play the whale' using VM/movemail over NFS crossmounted disks.  It
works. Only on very rare occasions I've experienced problems with
movemail because it tries to lock over NFS (which isn't healthy for your
system, I've been told).

Once you have an NFS mount of the disk with the primary inbox, you can
just put it in `vm-spool-files' and then VM fixes the rest. But don't
tell me I didn't warn you ;-)
