This is how we run our IMAP/POP configuration so I guarantee it works. 
We have about 15000 users with an NFS mounted mailspool and NFS mounted 
home directories.  It works like a champ.  We use RedHat9.  The homedirs 
  are currently on a Network Appliance F840.  We use NFSv3 over TCP, 
definitely not UDP.
