It would be of some use with dbox index rebuilding. I don't think it would help

Too much trouble, no one would implement it :)
I presume you have seen that cyrus is working on various distributed options?
Standardising this through imap might work if they also buy into it?
Probably more trouble than worth. I doubt anyone would want to run a
cross-Dovecot/Cyrus cluster.
No definitely not. Sorry I just meant that you are both working on
similar things. Standardising the basics that each use might be useful
in the future
That can almost be done already .. the attachments are saved and accessed via a
lib-fs API. It wouldn't be difficult to write a backend for some key-value
databases. So with about one day's coding you could already have Dovecot save
all message attachments to a key-value db, and you can configure redundancy in
the db's configs.
Hmm, super.
