You are asking about automatic storage tiering. You can get what you
want in a transparant way, independient
of Dovecot. Some storage vendor (search for Fully Automated Storage
Tiering - FAST from EMC or Compellent, recently
bought by Dell) get what you are asking for.
If the budget is low, you can achive a "poor´s man" storage tiering
with some shell scripting, cron and soft links; Or you can look at
http://code.google.com/p/fscops/ for a more mature implementation. Or
just use ZFS and "hybrid storage pools"
