I can't find it now, but AFAIR localstatedir must be on the same filesystem as maildir's, true?
I don't think so.
I see that the queue system uses rename() and not link()/unlink() - is this also true of the tmp/new/cur piece within maildirs?
Neither rename, nor link/unlink, works across filesystems.
The context of my question is testing Coda for maildir storage with Courier. Coda doesn't support cross-directory hardlinks, as least from the information I've found.
Correct. You cannot use Coda for Courier's mail queue. Coda should work for maildirs, though. Everything should work, except for sqwebmail. The key bits of code will use rename if link fails.
