Doesn't look like it's usable for storing emails yet. From FAQ:

How much RAM do I need? Is it possible to use disk memory at all?

Currently, Cluster is in-memory only. This means that all table data 
(including indexes) is stored in RAM. Therefore, if your data takes up 
1 gigabyte of space and you wish to replicate it once in the cluster, 
you need 2 gigabytes of memory to do so. This in addition to the memory 
required by the operating system and any applications running on the 
cluster computers.
