I am wondering if there are any possibilities to save HDD space used by emails by compressing content (not just attachements).
I'd *much* rather see work done on 'single-instance-storage' support, ala cyrus... that would do far more, in most setups, than compressing files - without adding any overhead, which compression definitely would do.
It's been somewhat planned for dbox format. No idea when though.
With maildir I suppose it's possible with hardlinks, but that's a bit kludgy.
