 Been there, done that. Works OK  for me. Desreves a major rewrite, because
storing message  bodies as BLOBs  is useless  and dangerous. If  only there
were 25 hours in the day (sigh)
 So yes, it's  possible. And if you  know nothing about DBs and  SQL, get a
couple  of books  and start  there. There  are caveats  in a  general email
archive  application, so  you'll  be better  off  beginning with  something
simple.
