I was wondering about it some time ago. Took a look around on the web
and reading some posts in [1] and [2] made me feel I was looking for
trouble if I was to abandon the standard maildir on a decent
filesysstem setup (in those posts most people claim with good
arguments that storing emails in a generic sql DB (like mysql, pg)
would make a lot of simple tasks much slower) Anyway I have no
personal experience to share - just thought you might be interested
