Multi-dbox is in v2.0, but single-dbox is already in v1.1! You can configure it to use two directories, e.g.: mail_location = dbox:~/dbox:ALTPATH=/cheapstorage/%h v2.0 implements dbox somewhat better, but v1.1's version should work well enough too. v1.1 just creates a pretty useless dbox.index file and also writes (for backup) flag changes to dbox files once in a while. Moving old messages can be done using expire plugin: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire#Alternative_dbox_directory_expiration or you can do it manually with mv command as well. With the above configuration there's no need to use virtual mailboxes.
