I was thinking about using MHonarc to enhance the archive experience but it doesn't work with MySQL directly so Mail::Box just might be what the doctor ordered.
No database handles "BLOB" (Binary Large OBject) storage well. Even high-end databases have problems in this area. IMO, this is a bad idea.
Better would be to use a mailbox format that handles simultaneous multiple access reasonably well. You can use c-client and mbx format, or MH format, or something else reasonably decent.
