It seems to me the ultimate goal is to replicate not just the mail, but the state of the mail back and forth.

*Exactly* :o)

Then use a cluster filesystem or something like drdb. SQL databases are really really slow compared to a filesystem, when you can't control the usage profile. Using maildirs on top of gfs would get you better replication, better speed, and better and easier redundancy then using a database.
