dovecot - Feb 2014 - How to archive mails on different server

Hi Guys,

I want to make some new changes to my exim mail server So if any user 
archive his/her mail they will save on any other server not on Exim 
server , and whenever user want to search for any old mail he will go to 
archive folder and can search it from there.... So basically i want to 
setup a diffrent server for archiving and want to connect it to my Exim 
server. So whevever user archive his/her mail it will autometically save 
to diffrent server.

So is it possible using any plugin , or something else . I am using 
Roundcube,Exim 4.72, Dovecot(LMTP).

perhaps use some always bc feature with exim, and mount mailstore from
different server ( via internal network etc ) and use acl with shared
namespace for a archive account etc like

orig account: user.name at domain.de

archive account: archive.user.name at archive.domain.de

but to be honest such solution "smells" complicated

not sure what else is possible with exim, wait for other/better solution
example from the list

perhaps look ( sorry only german ) , for archive ideas with postfix

or perhaps you might look stuff with alternate storage
