... but what you go on to describe diverges significantly from what I had in 
mind, so I must have not done a very good job explaining myself.

c-client, the library that php uses for IMAP, POP, and NNTP calls, supports 
opening local files in any format that it supports (mbox, mbx probably, etc.). 
So, if we had a custom MDA to deliver to local files, we could have IMP support 
local files with very few changes, because we'd be using the _same_ imap_* 
calls to access the mailboxes. The custom MDA would be needed because IMP would 
have to be running as a user that could write to the mailbox files.

If you can convince someone to make c-client support opening pegasus mail 
mailboxes, that'd be great. But that's not going to be me. =)
