[Gllug] E-Mail mbox folders -> PostgreSQL database

I'm slowly drowning under a sheer size of my recieved e-mail archive,
so I've decided its time to move it all into a PostgreSQL database.
My basic requirements are:
* Read-only access to email archives in the DB
* Bulk import from mbox files
* Preferrably written in Perl
* Data structure which is reasonably well normalized
(ie deals with nested attachments, stores each header
as a separate row)
Optionally:
* A simple command line tool / web page for running
full text searches against the bodies with conditions
defined on headers.
* A way of saving queries to be run again at a later
date.
I don't really want a complete web mail system with the kitchen
sink - they all ultimately suck in either performance or usability
& besides, I'm more than happy with Mutt as an every day MUA - I
just want a quick & easy tool for managing long term archival.
Before I write something myself, does anyone know of a tool which
already exists ?
Dan.
