There are systems for hot mirroring an Imail server.  check the archives.

It is apparent to me the DNS servers are key to it.
No, that doesn't help with hot mirroring of mailbox server, only fallback SMTP routing to a backup MX store+forward relay.

If Server A is down then Server B gets the email through two address entries I would guess.
DNS does this

This must mean we have to have a mirrored set of email accounts on both servers and make sure they are kept in sync.
yep, hot mirroring, no DNS involved. Imail has nothing to do with mirroring. Internet delivers to the primary MX host's single ip address, and behind that ip, the mirroring occurs.

So when this happens with some of the mail for client X on server A and some on server B how does it get merged? Or does it? If not how can the client be sure of picking up all of his e-mail.
A client can pick his mail on either server, they are perfect mirrors. but the mirroring technology hides the "duplicity" from the clients, they don't know or care that mirroring is occurring or on what box their mailbox is.
