Have you checked out Class::DBI on CPAN? You can point it at existing
SQL tables and it will generate the necessary SQL to provide an object
wrapper for manipulating the tables. All very neat. It could maybe
provide a suitable layer with which to hide some database specifics.

I am also interested in interfacing Mail::Box with a database back-end
but other commitments on my time continue to prevent me really tackling
it myself, :(...
