Filesystems does not have deduplication effective for emails. They mostly use 
block based deduplication, which does not work when the same attachment in 
second body is shifted even one byte, like when any header value is 
longer/shorter.

Deduplication using rolling hash (rsync) is better but still different clients 
can encode same part in different ways.

Even dovecot SIS is not very sophisticated in this, but it is better than block 
based deduplication.

Good deduplication can lower storage to almost 1/3 of full email bodies.
