Strictly speaking, the SMTP server does not store the mail at all, it's 
usually just the MTA ( mail transport agent ).

This issue is an MDA ( mail delivery agent; or something ) issue, I 
think.  So it's going to be up to your IMAP or POP server to figure out 
whether this optimization is worth the trouble.

Some IMAP servers do support this.  I think it's sometimes called 
'single store messages' or something like that.  Cyrus IMAP, supports 
this I believe.
