Some people have expressed the opinion that this is not a good idea. Assuming that a modern (one-file-per-message) format is being used, the concrete reasons to avoid storing mail in AFS include:
-1. AFS is not designed to provide good performance under the sort of concurrent accesses that occur when many mail server machines share a common space in AFS; see <http://www.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2007-June/026621.html> for more information. This does not apply to situations where there is a single mail server for a particular user.
