Although it isn't integrated into RBase you might consider using the following free windows command line retrieval program. You can use the RBase "LAUNCH" command access this program.
getmail From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search getmail Original author(s)Charles Cazabon Initial release1998 Stable release4.33.0 / August 7, 2012; 30 days ago[1] Programming language usedPython Operating systemUnix-like, Posix TypeE-mail LicenseGNU General Public License v2 Websitehttp://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/ getmail is a simple mail retrieval agent intended as a replacement for fetchmail, implemented in Python. It can retrieve mail from POP3, IMAP4 and Standard Dial-up POP3 Service servers, with or without SSL. It supports simple and domain (multidrop) mailboxes, mail filtering via any arbitrary program, and supports a wide variety of mail destination types, including mboxrd, maildir, and external arbitrary mail delivery agents. Unlike fetchmail, getmail's Python foundation makes it all but immune to buffer overflow security holes.[citation needed] It also has a simpler configuration syntax than fetchmail. It also supports fewer authentication protocols than fetchmail. On systems processing local mail, its delivery capability is redundant, because such systems must have a local mail delivery agent (MDA) anyway. This inclusion of MDA functionality within getmail, without providing full MDA functionality (such as the ability to receive and deliver locally-originated messages) is contrary to the UNIX philosophy of application modularity. Getmail is free software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. It is written and maintained by Charles Cazabon.

Mike B: For me it would be first a matter of winnowing years of email down to just the really important stuff, stored and secured on my own server. Certainly Outlook can download from a MAPI source, but its slicing/dicing tools are limited. Just off the top 'o the head, I envision an application that draws and parses/deconstructs messages from the downloaded email store into a structured R:Base database where all fields are subject to searching and manipulation. An "R:Base-centric" application which performs the download itself would be icing on the cake. Just thinking.
