Yes, you would have to find some way to do syncronisation...

Yes, the only solution to this is to start using a single store and a
single point of access for all data... but you can't use a database,
because you are then incompatible with any other tools, such as your
shell, your other mail software, etc. So you would have to use the
filesystem... but to keep the 'metadata' - oh, there's the old debate
again - how to store metadata when the filesystem doesn't provide
support ?

Better read the metadata discussions over on the other lists :)
