I think so, just asking > to be sure. If you make changes sometimes on one machine and sometimes on the other, you might have difficulty determining which side is right at any given time. But assuming you can figure that out, and assuming you sync things so that all the contents of the maildir, including .nnmaildir/*, are the same, you should be fine. Beware that nnmaildir uses lots of hard links; if your copying tool creates new files instead, you'll be using lots more inodes. paul
