I have a question, or maybe I just need some advice. Consider this
situation please:
-There's a user called info. The purpose of the user is to receive
mail that will end up in a shared mailbox that members of a group
info can read and write to.
-Postfix delivers messages to /var/spool/mail/info
Is it safe for several users to be accessing the same mbx mailbox via
different symbolic links pointing to that mailbox? Assume that all users
are doing this with c-client software, or even that all users are using
imapd.

Please consider 2 situations where messages are moved from spool files
into mbx INBOX files in users home directories:
A. c-client software automatically moves mail when software accesses
incoming spool file.
B. Someone explicitly invokes mailutil appenddelete.
The question is: Can corruption of

The text is correct. If INBOX is an empty file, it defaults to the
system standard (which is traditional UNIX format on most systems, but
MMDF on SCO).
I see your point. Empty means empty in the sense of contains zero
bytes rather than contains zero messages (since it describes a file

It works for me. I just tried
But still, even with this understanding, what happens
if there is no INBOX at all?
That's where magic begins. You'll have to read the code in the dummy
driver to understand.
Now that you mention it, I had noticed a number of almost supernatural
properties in imap.
Probably because the
