For the mail payload sure, Maildir offers a likely unique ID for storage, but it doesn't really help much with metadata or for syncing and resolving mailbox operations and conflict-resolution such as moves initiated from two difference instances. Maildir and their ilk, solve the easy part of the problem. Distributed file-system sync is a subset of distributed mailbox sync so you'll have to layer something on top of your storage system regardless of what type it is.
