Here are some Logo ideas and Tagline ideas. Might have been good to hit 2.2.0 with a strong brand identity, but better late than never – we should come up with something we like!
Follow these links to go to information on new proposals. If you have any worked-out proposals, please feel free to add them here. Please do not post things that have not yet been discussed and some general consensus reached on the dbmail-dev mailing list yet. The wiki is not a discussion board!
These are some ideas for the future – without any promise of implementation, of course.
If there's a feature that you'd like to help along, but lack the available time or coding skill to write it, consider sponsoring a Code Bounty!

dbmail-export -
PHP script to export a user's email into mbox format. Has capability to specify date range for backup and individual mailbox. Currently only supports PostgreSQL, but should be easy to convert to MySQL. This script is only for 2.0.x train, as 2.1 will have its own version.
