uw-imapd Also does not play well with NFS and I believe that's not a 
coincidence but the nature of a properly working imap server and the 
nature of NFS lacking certain fundamental filesystem functionality. 
Therefore using NFS with imap is asking for trouble.

I can imagine exim sort of working with NFS since it does not need 
things like file sharing and uses plain unix fileformat. I'd still avoid it.
