Naive question ahead...(I know very little about mail server, exchange server etc)
Some customers of ours want to store the email conversations with their clients inside our app.
Obviously I do not want to make our database a gigabyte beast 
or maintain numerous text files inside the filesystem.
I was thinking if I can query a mail server by email address on the fly...
I mean...I have the window that contains the client profiles and I scroll to the ClientA profile. By getting his/her email, can I go to the mail server and download (just for the moment) all the emails that contain his/her address? Then I just have to display them inside a datawindow (somehow) ordered by date and not store them anywhere...
Thank you!
