Re: [9fans] acme mail on unix

i'm not sure what you have available in your environment, but you
could get around the slow imap connection by running upas/fs, 
which can be mounted as a normal fs on linux-2.6.n, n>=13.

i don't use mh, but your description of an mh directory sounds
compatable with the upas/fs layout.

i've been running upas/fs for about 2 months against an imap
server had have no problems.
