Be careful; multiple access from different processes even on a single host can still run into locking issues against NFS filesystems, or data corruption if locking isn't available.  You're most at risk with local delivery to an mbox-style INBOX; delivery to maildir-style INBOX is much safer even on NFS without locking.
