Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot index, NFS, and multiple architectures

This was starting from a clean index, first opening pine on the NFS Solaris 9 sparc machine, and then at the same time opening pine on my Fedora 9 i386 workstation. Why does it matter where you run Pine? Does it directly execute Dovecot on the local machine instead of connecting via TCP?
