I'd like to add my vote here as well; dbox would be *the* feature that would make me happy. I'm the guy who asked a few weeks ago about ways to speed access on our GFS clustered mail environment.
Meanwhile, I've done some preliminary testing with mbox. As expected, it's vastly faster than the Maildirs that we're using now. Of course it pains me to go "backwards" but that may be the interim solution. I got stopped temporarily when it seemed that I couldn't nest folders using mbox, but hopefully that's untrue.
You could use Maildir++ layout with mboxes too:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:LAYOUT=maildir++
mbox handling code is less stable than maildir code though.
