However, moreso, I don't know that Maildir(++) would support multiple folders that might be linked into the cloud.  For example, higher-I/O local incoming mail is on disk, some folders archived on S3.   Could be easily done by simply creating another account and storing its Maildir in S3 --

Maybe [sm]dbox with alt storage set to S3? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox#Alternate_storage
