I've never actually had the need to try this, so caveat emptor, but I've heard of people having some success replicating Cyrus mailstores with drbd - http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/reisner/drbd/. There are limitations to this approach which may make it non-viable for you - your machines would need to be Linux hosts, and you'd need a dedicated network link, but it's the most promising approach I've seen to "simple" mailstore replication between two machines so far.
