Actually an idea i've had in mind for a while is something more akin to PAM, eg an end user definable plugin system for mailbox handling. dovecot etc would just use API calls to plugins. People can write whatever backend they want -- maildir, sql, even gdbm, csv, xml or WEBDAV if they feel like it. And anything could use the modules -- sendmail, postfix, procmail, etc.
Agreed. Defining an API would be more useful than defining a format. Then one could plug in delivery and access modules with different storage modules.
