Relocate subfolders to different mount point

[Marc Roos]

Maybe, but I do not want to do a convert of the mbox files right now. 
First I would like try and put some large archive files on a different 
storage location. I would already be pleased with a config sample of one 
mbox file on a different path. Otherwise I will have to result to some 
nasty symlinking or so. Or maybe this can be scripted via dovecot?

I think sdbox or mdbox format is what you are looking for
