So NFS is really not secure in some non-obvious ways.

You put your email access passwords into .fetchmailrc and make
sure it's locked down tight.  You're using imap-ssl so they're
not going out over the wire.

You run fetchmail on your local system.  It snarfs your .fetchmailrc
from your NFS-mounted home dir and your passwords come over the wire
in the clear.

Yuk.

Don't keep sensitive stuff on an NFS-mounted directory.
