The optimal solution anyway will be Dovecot's own mail format at some point, delivered through Dovecot LDA which indexes the mail immediately while storing it.
That would be a database, right? ;-)
Basically the current indexes, with message bodies stored in one or more files depending on how configured, but without any duplicated metadata in them. Configuration would probably be "try to keep file sizes around 1MB" or "1 message per file".
I'm hoping that you're not intending to go the Cyrus route where only the proprietary format is supported; I don't want to give up the ability to use procmail/formail/other unix utilities on messages...
