I think that you should use a cheap machine with a disk drive as big as the mail server's (or use squashfs) and imapsync every night... that way people will be able to access their mail the next second that the big server fails. Look at http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync

It's just an idea... not the best way to do it I guess...
