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.
