If you want something that runs purely in userland, try:
a) QMail's Maildir system (which Postfix also supports)
b) Something similar to Squid or Diablo's storage systems, i.e. one
file per object, with a hash function that spreads files across
65536 buckets organized in 256 directories with 256 subdirectories
each, with (optionally) an index kept in a DBM file or something
c) A commercial (or commercial-grade) relational database system
(Oracle, PostgreSQL, Frontbase)
DES
