Store the raw messages in mbox format, then add an index using e.g. SQLite so that you can search/order by date/subject/sender/etc and retrieve individual messages quickly. Storing the raw messages allows for easy migration to/from other clients, other versions of the client, other OSes, etc, as well as the option to rebuild the index from scratch if it gets corrupted.
