I want to use a mounted drive as Maildir for imap mails but it always has data loss possibilities because of connection problems etc..
What type of solution should I use for this?

3It is fairly common to have Maildirs on for example a NFS network share. Normally when the NFS server is unresponsive you'd expect that your incoming mailserver / local delivery agent will queue the message until the Maildir is available again. That may require taking care that you don't write the messages to a subdirectory under the mount point, whenever the network share is unavailable. Because if that is allowed, those messages wil be come hidden once the network share is mounted again. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/nfs/ – Rob May 10 '22 at 14:14
