OK, since it is indeed the case that only one emacs at a time will be client, I will stick with nnml. At least this has the advantage that I can simply copy the old mail archive then. I guess that one drawback of the whole setup will be that regexp-searching mail articles will become much slower, right? After all, emacs will have to fetch each message / file separately via ssh, check whether it matches... Well, I'll see... Many thanks for your help! Martin
