Unless I've misunderstood, this is already do-able to a certain extent.
 I run PMMail on OS/2, Win98 and Win2k systems sharing the same LAN and
they each access the same set of data and email files on the OS/2
system.  For the Windows systems, I've assigned a drive letter to the
drive on the OS/2 system containing the files and then I just use that
path in the 'Start in' line in the program object.  If this runs slowly
for you, there is also a little patch to the exe that can speed things
up.
