Introduction
There is an old pejorative saying that if you develop a software long enough, it will be able to read email. I think the saying was referring to Lotus Notes at that time, and possibly later, but has largely been forgotten today.
Pitch
However, taking the pejorative out of the equation, it would be really sweet if omniload could import mailboxes into databases, like including all their data and metadata. It should support reading from all sorts of mailbox formats, like mbox://, maildir://, pop3://, and imap://.
Goal
The goal is to make relevant content easier to search, by applying traditional and modern database search algorithms on databases which support it, by means of standard SQL wildcard search, BM25, vector search, or hybrid search.
