IMAP and remote smtp server, or something along those lines. Print servers.
You could have "writable /var" as a possible configuration, too.
You can get away with most of that except when the CxO box dies while an email was being sent and its gone. Murphy seems to strike on this one more than statistically should be possible...
If you're doing direct SMTP, then having a writable /var doesn't help in this case, either. Hopefully your mail client saves to a file (which would be in the home dir) and then does the smtp transaction, removing the file from the home dir after that succeeds.
