OK, since it is indeed the case that only one emacs at a time will be client, I
will stick with nnml. At least this has the advantage that I can simply copy
the old mail archive then.
I guess that one drawback of the whole setup will be that regexp-searching mail
articles will become much slower, right? After all, emacs will have to fetch
each message / file separately via ssh, check whether it matches... Well, I'll
see...
Many thanks for your help!
