I don't know of any mail server or client that stores messages as XML (just differing with you on calling that standard). That's an interesting idea to possibly add if anybody wanted to use that.
Storing messages in a database means you get all the reliability, querying features, backups, etc.. of a database instead of a file system. I find it much more manageable to just run an update statement or use standard db tools to move messages from some inbox back into the message spool, rather than having to copy files around.
