I don't know what kind of storages are you talking about, but the way
is done by the mail system is just a read-fs and a smtp client, you do
not write into /mail/fs/mbox to send mail :-?,

why do not start with what we have now? making upasfs to use the
remote storage, making it able to order mailbox and move messages
between them and those things? that's why i suggested taking a look at
what Russ said about upasfs from p9p :-? starting from scrach would be
much more painfull :-?
