I am not sure if you can access all folders in one go, the maildir resource 
assumes a certain directory structure for subfolders.

You could try pointing a maildir resource to /mnt/server-name/Data2/Maildir

One thing that should work from how the path looks like is to access single 
folders, i.e. pointing a maildir resource to
/mnt/server-name/Data2/Maildir/mailbox-name

For additional safety during experiementation you could consider mounting the 
server's export as read-only.

Cheers,
Kevin
