Description Jim Dovis 2005-03-25 14:09:44 UTC

Version:           1.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

I'd like to be able to store my Mail in an SQL Database, mainly to be able to do some advanced searching and allow external apps to access the data.

I figure this is probably not high on the developers prioritiy list, so I'm willing to implement it myself if someone points me in the right direction.

I would suggest to use a local IMAP server for that purpose. That's exactly 
what they were conceived for.

North, north-east. And make sure to keep well clear of icebergs. :)

Have a look at kmfoldermbox/kmfoldermaildir.*. Those are the local storage classes. Write a new class DatabaseStorage which can be used as alternative to those classes.
