To summarize previous discussions on this, no, it's not possible. IMAP in it's current form cannot work with it like that. I don't think anything in pop3 would prohibit it, though, so if you don't require imap, you could keep dabbling. You have higher-level conflicts with creating users/aliases/etc. though .. eg. your 2 servers can't talk for whatever reason, and you keep doing stuff on each of them and you create a user "john" on each one seperately, then it's hosed when they try to re-sync and there are 2 "john" userid's with different id's. Same thing happens in other places (mailboxes and aliases come to mind immediately). But if you can guarantee you only create users/mailboxes/aliases and whatever else may be forgotten (and don't forget automatic mailbox creation at delivery time!), I think you could get away with running a pop3 server that way (with relatively little hacking to dbmail). I don't know what would happen to the same pop3 mailbox being changed differently though (eg. on one server a message is deleted, on the other server it was marked as read but not deleted, then they sync), but I think it whatever it is would be similar to a "normal" installation with 2 pop3 clients accessing the same mailbox simultaneously, which is unspecified behavior.
