Hi Erik, Thanks for the question. I want to sync multiple email accounts into local stores. I was thinking each local store would be a "virtual server" in *Server*. Since I have multiple accounts with different modes of use, I imagine the benefits of this scheme would be to allow different and independent ways of syncing, storing, backing up, indexing and searching the local stores. Are there downsides to this approach (other than that notmuch doesn't support it) that I am missing? Or are there benefits to putting them all in one maildir that I am missing? Thanks - George
