This would be a design error, far better to deliver a per-recipient Bcc
copy to a real IMAP mail-store and to set up a suitable IMAP webmail
client.

A full business continuity solution is along the lines Wietse suggested.
If a hack is required to serve just new mail, divert all queued mail
from the backup MX to a separate queue with maximally long queue
lifetimes (100d at present) and in that queue generate the recipient-bcc
copies to IMAP.
