I want to know whether it is possible at all. If possible, how do we implement proper concurrent access (locking, etc.) between the two instances to a single maildir-based store? I guess this should be possible since I know Dovecot can operate NFS-backed mail stores, e.g. in a load-balancing cluster setup.
Works just fine, as long as the locking settings are the same (only lock_method with maildir).
Second, is it OK to run the second instance in the same OS (we use Linux)? or chroot'ed or even virtualized solution will work better?
