I've never actually had the need to try this, so caveat emptor, but I've
heard of people having some success replicating Cyrus mailstores with
drbd - http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/reisner/drbd/.

There are limitations to this approach which may make it non-viable for
you - your machines would need to be Linux hosts, and you'd need a
dedicated network link, but it's the most promising approach I've seen
to "simple" mailstore replication between two machines so far.
