 This is safer for incoming mailboxes.  But for archive boxes, that are

 mechanism be chosen from the .muttrc?

If the mailbox is only accessed from one machine, why is it on an NFS
server?  Just put the mailbox on the one machine that is going to access
it.  No more NFS slow-down.

Because my home is on an NFS server. This is the main reason. But in
fact, I want to be able to access these mailboxes from other machines
too, for instance because my machine is down. However it will always
be only one machine at the same time.
