AIX Mail stored in AFS space

We currently are in production at AIX 4.3.3 and AFS 3.5.  We have our mail
set up through a central mail  server and NFS mount /var/spool/mail/ from
that server to every client machine.  Of course, anytime we have a problem
with our mail server, EVERYONE feels it and grumbles loudly.  We would like
to convert to a mail scheme where the mail is delivered and stored in the
users AFS home directory and the need for a NFS mount is eliminated.  I
would be interested in hearing from anyone who has done this, with any
associated problems, nuances, etc. and some direction on how to get it
implemented.

All input is appreciated.
