If you want decent performance with IMAP then just don't use NFS. The write pattern of mail stores is a poor match for the way NFS works and the large number of files doesn't work too well for read caching.
Nitpick: NFS doesn't play nice with lots of small files, i.e. maildir and MH storage formats. An IMAP server need not use those formats (e.g. domino).
