I would not save them as .msg. That is just not a good approach. Writing
emails to a database is also going to be tricky because of attachments.

Well, I do have to admit that personally I prefer to have them in MailBoxes:
users can do searches on them etc like they normally do with emails etc.
And about the writing to the database: Isn't there a way to kind of write
them as a binery stream to a database-field?

How long do you need to retain these emails?

At least 3-4 years, but it will be in some case 5-10 years at least...

The best option if it works in your situation is to use an Email archiving
product like Enterprise Vault or EmailXtender.

I'm gonna take a look at them, thanks! :-)
