You can do that now by moving your mail storage onto a dedicated fileserver
which is exported over the network via NFS (or whatever works best for you)
and then cluster/replicate the fileserver(s).

Putting the message store in a database would merely complicate matters
terribly. Various folks are having problems getting Courier running on the
nice & clean filesystem model. Imagine what the list traffic would be like
if the message store were on a relational db!! :-)

Perhaps this is a feature that could be added sometime in the future...if
people even wanted it.

If you really want your mail in a database today, you can use M$ Exchange
or OpenWave's Intermail instead of Courier.... :-)
