I think that's not crazy, I thought to use pmwiki for this too - and for 
bookmarks exported from a webbrowser's bookmark file. There may be more 
efficient tools to do this, but I would like to have one technology for 
using *all* my data in one place. Cause it will only be my mails, I won't 
need a "professional" fast mailarchive. I can easyly add categories of my 
own and using scripts to do this.

and possibly adding a function to respond to these mails via the smtp-api 
of php ...

even implementing threads should be possible with the category-feature.
