Doing a mobile-mode wouldn't even be reaching that far. We already have single-instance storage of attachments. It's just a matter of changing the message reconstruction strategy (into one much simpler than the current mime-reconstruction), and exposing attachments over http. I wonder if those blackberries have any security mechanism build into those http references. Requiring basic-authentication on the message involved would be minimal, and trivial to implement.
http://imapserver.mydomain.nl:14380/myusername/mailbox/message_uid/mimepart-hash The dbmail-httpd would then, after authentication/authorization return the attachment involved with the correct mime headers for the relevant content, i.e. the message, so the client knows how to save the file.
