Here's an idea I've been toying with for an upcoming implementation... Let's say you create everyone's Inbox/Drafts/etc mailboxes on your reasonably fast (expensive/small?) storage with a relatively low mailbox quota. You then create user.username.archive on a separate Cyrus partition, perhaps residing on SATA with a relatively high mailbox quota. Inform your users that to store mail and keep their Inbox available they should move it there. You can then use Cyrus' built-in search mechanisms (squat) and have to change very little.
