The functionality is similar. The point with NNML is, that it nicely
coexists with the nnml backend (nndb stuffs the articles in a database
(by default at least)). I once hacked it to leave the articles in the
directories. Don't know if this option still works). You can use both
simultaneously on the same directories. This is nice for syncronizing
mail directories. up- and downloding can be done with nnsync/nnmirror
which syncronizes using NNTP. I currently use it to syncronize between
my SUN at the office, my Linux box at home. Also is use if for offline
news reading at home (nntp backend).
