I'm trying to migrate some home directories to an afs filesystem. AFS
does not allow hardlinks between directories:
http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/AdminGuide/auagd007.htm#HDRWQ32
Would it be possible to allow nnmaildir to use another method for
storing marks? Or, perhaps arrange things in such a way that all the
marks were pointing to a file in the same directory?
Thanks,

I think the easiest change would be to make the .../read/* entries be
links to one file, and the .../expire/* entries be links to another
file. Then everything works the same as before, with just a few extra
inodes per group. I'll put this on my todo list.

Cool, this is what I had in mine as well.
