I reset kmail 1.13.5 to use maildir (mdir) format message storage several 
years ago.

My email corpus is north of 20Gb, and amanda has no problems backing it 
up. Its been doing it well enough I can do a bare metal recovery and have.

Sounds like you need a better backup proggy.  Amanda, FWIW, is a wrapper, 
most commonly using the current version of tar, can also use dump, but I 
consider tars file at a time granularity a huge advantage since it can 
also recover something you accidentally deleted without overwriting 
everything.
