to have one place, where everything is stored.

if you want more than one ogo application-server (different version, more performance) as you mentoined in an other email to, you have only half of the data.

yes, but this is a one-way. so if you connect to the other server (like described above) ogo doesn't know anything about it, and creates a completly new/empty sieve script.

but i think every solution has advantages/disadvantages, so its ok. (maybe locate /var/lib/opengroupware/documents on a nfs-share ;)
