In my original post I suggested a cron job compress the files, so it's easy to vary which files get compressed, and when. Something like (untested, and pre-coffee):

find $MAILPATH ! -name "*.gz" -type f -atime +90 -size +1 -exec /usr/bin/gzip -9 {} ";"

And IMHO I think it should be a good idea to add/merge the patch into main stream code (with a flag to allow compressed maildir)...

I certainly wouldn't object, and it sounds like Andrey and others like the idea, too.
