This is a solution that is commercially available and has a good many customers. The software integrates nicely with many current desktop apps. Comes complete with built in calendaring and appointment system. Unfortunately, it only *nicely* uses ONE mail reader... It has the potential to use many readers but deliberately does not integrate at ALL with any of the others. The name of this commercial package and the reader? Exchange and Outlook... The rest of your idea, though, are good and seem well thought out... Personally, I don't like the idea of keeping messages in a database... >From experience, it is way too hard to guarantee good backups and thus be sure that you will get a usable restore... Of course, that might just be the product being restored...
