Re: How can I share a mailbox between multiple OSes
Incoming from David Witbrodt:
> This is a newbie question. I just installed Debian and several other OSes onto my old machine. As I have been reading the docs, and have started configuring things to my liking, I found myself wondering whether an email application exists that would allow me to store my mailbox files on a common data partition, which could be then used by whatever OS was currently running.
Hit a carriage return from time to time, 'kay?

How about a common /home partition they would all mount? You'll have
to pick a filesystem they can all read+write, and you'll have to synch
UIDs and GIDs.
