I wouldn't have thought so. My mail client's formats are its own thing, and the server does its own thing. When my mail client accesses my mail it's a network operation, not a direct file access. How the files are arranged on either side is immaterial to the other. Though, having said that, if you run your mail client on the server, you may have a clash of things trying to use common file names. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
