Very cool, I was looking for something similar, thank you both 
for sharing!

My goal is to store mails in a mysql table with fulltext index, 
connected to a existing old crm solution via the email address as 
a foreign key.

My question in the moment is, how do I invoke Thunderbird to 
display a certain single mail (or maildir) file?
How do I use Thunderbird as the client, to show, to answer or to 
forward these mails.
An alternative would be to use a browser based mailer? Handling 
all attachments is an other purpose.
