Ease of backup and experimenting as I don't want to have a large /home. I'd prefer to have a large DB in /usr, than interact with the filesystem. Most of the mails will be attachments of homework children have done which will be word files or spreadsheets etc. so I figured I can easily dump the DB and create monthy backups faster with phpmyadmin than copy the actual maildir directory.

And yes, I would like to store the e-mails in a mysql database instead of a home directory (maildir format).
I've already started on it, will get back to you soon.
If I may ask, what requirement are you trying to fulfill by storing the mails in the DB?
