I suppose not. I don't use caching or the agent; when I did this, I didn't know it would break things. But people can use the agent on some servers and not others, right? Then, at least, they could just run with the nnmaildir server closed whenever the NFS mount was unavailable. > Do you also frob group info to renumber the marks? When do you do > this? Do you use nnchoke-request-update-info? Yes. Article numbers aren't stored on disk at all; -request-scan creates the mapping anew each time you close and reopen the server, and only keeps it in memory. Then -request-update-info translates the stored marks into a whole new group info. paul
