We actually have all of our e-mail being stored in the Mail2DB db, not
suprisingly. It's actually quite handy, but the message body is *NOT*
stored in the database. I currently put *EVERYTHING* into the database
and don't want the odd 1MB to 50MB message being shoved in there.
Besides, it makes it *REALLY* easy to compress the bulk of the data.
I'd highly recommend you consider Postgres over MySQL. The regex
matching in SQL clauses is fantastic:
SELECT filename, hdrsubject FROM mail2db WHERE hdrfrom ~ ".*@example.com";
Mhonarc is an interesting idea, if you just want a bunch of HTML files.
For archiving, the ability to run SQL queries on messages has proven very
useful...
