+1 on this request. I have a slightly different use case -- I have
both an dbox and Maildir. Incoming email goes to Maildir, but I
archive off to dbox (using Thunderbird). After I archive my emails,
compression seems like a reasonable choice.

Any idea if this feature will be available at some point?
