I wouldn't have thought so.  My mail client's formats are its own thing,
and the server does its own thing.  When my mail client accesses my mail
it's a network operation, not a direct file access.  How the files are
arranged on either side is immaterial to the other.

Though, having said that, if you run your mail client on the server, you
may have a clash of things trying to use common file names.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
