FWIW, I have been storing my email on a network server for probably two years
now. Once it was on Warp Server eB, next Win 2K server. Neither one was
terribly slow- the only time speed is noticeable is when opening an email with
extremely large attachments, or when shutting down. I have PMMail set to
discard deleted message over 7 days old and it hits the server hard for a few
seconds while scanning the trash. This doesn't affect the client much. Mind
you, this is a 100 Mbit network. Nothing fancy- in fact the switch is not even
full duplex.

I have detailed a few times on this list how I configure PMMail in this manner-
if anyone's interested I'll dig up my instructions.

I don't think I tried this with the OS/2 client- maybe that's the sticking
point.
