If you do not obey to these three rules, you sooner or later will experiences loss or corruption of mails and mail areas. Sorry to say so.
But what if you absolutely have to share a message base between multiple Linux/Unix or Linux/Unix and Non-Unix computers? There is only one solution to this problem: Use a message base format that does not require access synchronisation. While the Squish, JAM and Hudson message base formats to require access synchronisation because they store multiple mails in a single file, the Fido *.MSG (also known as Opus) message base format does not have this restriction because each mail is stored in a separate file. So Fido *.MSG presently is the only way to go if you want to share your message base between Linux/Unix and Non-Unix or other Unix computers.
