I looked at the fact sheet for powermail, it looks interesting, but it
is missing what I think is the heart of dbmail; the IMAP server. I bet
it would only take a few tweaks to get dbmail-imapd to read messages
from files. I've got this sneaking suspicion it will be faster that way.
Of course, in the long term, I also want to add lots of headers into the
messages table, or a separate headers table, for indexing. Eventually I
see a client that bypasses IMAP and accesses the database directly,
maybe an XUL or web app. An MMMUA (Massively Multiplayer Mail User
Agent) if you will. :-)

Don't get me wrong though. Your idea is not without merit. It's just
not dbmail. What you are talking about has already been done. It's
called powermail, brought to you by the same folks who build this
wonderful bind replacement called powerdns.
