Depends what you want to do with it. If you want it to grab messages from a POP server, and download them to your local machine, then some sort of cyclic folders database structure would help:
int auto_inc folderid int default(0) parentid (= 0 if root, otherwise id of parent folder) str foldername Then your mail database: int auto_inc mailid int default(0) folderid subject ... etc ... I would suggest setting up an IMAP server somewhere.. in which case all you really need to do is grab Horde/IMP from http://www.horde.org/imp and use that. The latest version is quite good.
