Do a mail indexer -- you'd want a bit for copying your existing
mailboxes into it, and something else for searching through the indexed
mail (with neat SQL, perhaps). You can use Python's mailbox module and
similar to actually parse the mailboxes, so it's doing a real life task
without actually having to know about mailbox parsing -- a useful use
of the Python standard library, perhaps.
