I've been doing some thinking on a new better mailbox format that'd be faster than mbox and maildir for most common uses. Comments welcome.
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.
