Mail uses a combination of both, and it's rather intelligent.
Mails uses a database. It also creates "emlx" files for each message
which contain the basic metadata for spotlight to index. They [used
to] have the same icon as Mail, so when you see it in the spotlight
menu, it looks like it's coming from Mail - it's really not. It's just
a file. When opening the emlx file, Mail simply shows the message.
As for Time Machine, I'm really not sure what it's doing. But at first
glance, it looks like it does backup the entire database every time.
Though as a reference, my NUG mailbox of 50k+ messages is 64MB.
