Two independent ssh processes accessing the same file won't. (not that it is likely to happen since I can't operate more than a single Gnus at any point in time, but anyway...:-) ) The reasons I didn't go for imaps was: - I didn't know the steps neccessary to make tramp imap use the same auth as nnimap - I didn't know what the relationship towards folder/message/file is? I.e. - do I need to create a particular folder for the use of tramp? - will it create one message or many? - Can more than one file be stored in any particular folder? (I'm guessing that the answer is "yes", "one message for each file, deleting the existing message and creating a new message when saving a new version", and "yes". But I didn't know for sure and it seemed like work to find out...:-) )
