Such a database problem should be fixed in the near future. The main
programmers have rough consensus to kick database through Emacs API.
In other words, we believe that Emacs should provide database

I know that XEmacs has such functionality. So, a pilot project will be
worked on XEmacs.

Please read info and you will find one or more ways to do it.

IM already has a thread feature. I'm planning to get Mew support it in
1.94beta.
