I think that there are 2 way:


- usage of S3 or other object-storage service as a back-end of courier

Nope. Courier-IMAP expects to read mail from the filesystem. Something that looks and acts like a filesystem has to be there.

- usage of a distributed file system (glusterFS or similar) with support of many active-active nodes
--> this is already working (i've tested) but too poor performance
--> what about a proxy that split requests between read and write, read requests goes to a geo-replicated node with higer performances and write requests goes to an active-active note with lower performances

99% of what an IMAP server does is reading mail. The only time an IMAP server writes anything of substance, to the mailbox, is when you save a draft message, from your mail client, in the drafts folder.
