that sounds like s3 API based backend.

also note that dovecot comes with some "non local mail storage plugins" in the commercial part:

In this release, we support Windows Azure, Amazon S3, Scality and
Dropbox systems.

so that should come close to what you want. for a local version you could use e.g. radosdb/ceph or riak. both can provide the s3 API for you.

Close, but this may be too low level, for example it may hide whose e-mail do you store (I don't know the exact implementation, it's not open source AFAIK).
