You will have problems if you try to rsync a maildir folder:

stefan@g128 .maildir % ls -l cur 
total 12772
-rw------- 1 stefan stefan    6177 27. Jul 2011  1311745926.M692969P7969.g128,S=6177,W=6324:2,RS

The : in the filename will throw *fat as well as ntfs.
At least it did when I tried it here last time.

The devil's in the details, as always.
