No, I don't think so. The only conflict is a (possible) name clash
between the 'native' .mailrc file and mailutils-specific one.
Changing the topic, there is a problem with locking mechanism
(locker.c): if the mailbox lives in a non-writable directory
the locking will fail (and that is correct). But along with
it the scanning of the mailbox will also fail, e.g. in mbox_scan0:
if((status = locker_lock (mailbox->locker)))
{
monitor_unlock (mailbox->monitor);
return status;
}
Thus it effectively disables imap4d's 'other' namespace, which in most
cases is located in a non-writable directory. Disabling the locking
in this case doesn't seem to be correct, since the mailbox itself may
still be writable. How about using a separate directory for lock
files, like /var/lock found on most systems?
