Been there, done that. Works OK for me. Desreves a major rewrite, because
storing message bodies as BLOBs is useless and dangerous. If only there

So yes, it's possible. And if you know nothing about DBs and SQL, get a
couple of books and start there. There are caveats in a general email
archive application, so you'll be better off beginning with something
simple.
