doesn't work for me. I want to have immediate access to several 
remote storages (virtually and kind of mail and similar thigs).

Just downloading isn't enough, would require sync back (and that's 
gonna be difficult). And having to download several Gig is not
an option for me.

It has to be an synthetic filesystem, since the server should do
most things. As already said: clients should only speak mailfs-ng,
and not doing their own storage handling anymore. This also includes
things lke filtering, searching, etc.
