I have great hopes for dbmail (dbmail.org). dbmail has an IMAP-backend
for retrieving messages. Storing headers (and body) for mail messages
into a database, opens possibilities for flexible and efficient
queries and retrieval of email messages.
One of the missing parts seems to be support for Virtual Folders:

http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-lemonade-vfolder-01.txt
Has anyone tried the combination dbmail/GNUS?
