Well, as a Windows user I don't know to well about this stuff, but couldn't you do the following? Everybody uses nnml as a backend. The folder where the folders for the groups is stored is a CVS repository, if everybody should have his own marks just keep the marks file out of the CVS repository. You want to read mail while disconnected: CVS update to get the stuff the others already committed, normal mail retrieval, Mail splitting, CVS commit. You want to read mail while connected: Just do it. You want to read mail from someone else's computer: Telnet to a server which has the repository on disk, fire up a console emacs, read the mail. I guess that it will not work because of some reason I forgot (remember that I'm only a dumb Windowser :-)) but perhaps... -- One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
