Subject: crazy fool thing to do with gnus and netscape
Date: 11 Sep 2000 15:18:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m366o2g2jx.fsf@ninga.ellerbeck.org> (raw)
On a shared account I've been keeping almost all the mail in nnfolder
format file under ~/Gnus/nnfolder. Someone else uses ~/ns_mail and
stores mail there for netscape. Is the following a crazy fool
operation:
for file in ~/Gnus/nnfolder/* ; do ln -s $file ~/ns_mail/; done
... so those those same folders could be read under netscape's mail
reader? (and I guess then link Netscape folders into ~/Gnus so the
vice versa operation would work too).
I'm pessimistically assuming things around file locking, corruption,
incompatability etc. would result in generalized badness.
Is moving everything onto a server and accessing it via IMAP the best
way?
