since 1 july 2007 i store all mails to this list in 1 folder
(Maildir-format)

the size of this (and the indexes) is:
31M     cur
80K     dovecot.index
6.8M    dovecot.index.cache
44K     dovecot.index.log
136K    dovecot.index.log.2
4.0K    dovecot-keywords
164K    dovecot-uidlist
4.0K    new
4.0K    tmp

so, on average maybe 20%-30%  of the size of your messages ?
