Excellent... that may be the answer to my problem as well.

Thanks Gustav.

Hi Rocky

One method could be to move all the e-mails to hMailServer:

  http://www.hmailserver.com 

and run this as either a mail store or an in-house mail server.
All e-mails are stored as discrete files but all structured data are written
as well to a database, MySQL or SQL Server. This you can access directly for
fast searching. Also, hMS sports a COM interface and an API:

  http://www.hmailserver.com/documentation/?page=com_objects

which allows you to control and access most events and methods of the
server.
And the price is right.

Dear List:

A client with a law firm ahs a home-grown Access/SQL db for everything.
They use Outlook but all emails are in one folder containing several tens of
thousands of email.  They have four thousand client.
 
They have client contacts recorded but increasingly contacts are by email
and so if they want to see a full history of interactions with a client they
have to go to two places.  Client would like some way to connect his client
contacts with the emails.  
 
Has anyone had/solved this problem?
