[Dovecot] Remote storage

[Daniel L. Miller]

What options are available for remote storage, i.e. storage devices 
directly mounted on the machine running Dovecot?  I've seen discussions 
of NFS usage - but my experiences with NFS in times past have been 
poor.  CIFS has worked well for me for non-mail use - would this be 
suitable?  Or is there another method I've not considered?
