1) So, if I'm not going to put user spools in AFS space, for the reasons

No problems at all. Maildirs are meant to be used with NFS.
Does courier's locking mechanism work well enough that NFS's
(terrible) locking mechanism wont be an issue? Are there any other

The only issue is that you'll need to run ntpd to keep everyone's clocks
synchronized.
Linux or IRIX-based NFS farms should also be running FAM (and Courier
compiled with FAM support), to get some value-added functionality.
3) When converting an existing IMAP setup (UW-IMAP) with mbox folders to
Courier's maildirs, do you need the unix envelope "From " to be
preserved? Or can you dump it? Otherwise, what things need to be done
Dump it. What you should do is extract the timestamp on the From_ line, and
save the timestamp as the modification time of the message file.
when splitting up the mbox file into a maildir folder? is a tool for
this included?
Follow the link to the mbox2maildir script.
