There are bushels and bushels of CPAN packages to help you, but again,
reading how to interface to someone else's system is a dubious gain over
rolling your own.  Thus the profusion. 
http://search.cpan.org/~dskoll/MIME-tools-5.417/
gets used in whole or partby other module authors,
http://search.cpan.org/~markov/Mail-Box-2.060/lib/Mail/Box.pod is also
a popular
infrasturcture for dealing with e-mail storage formats.

Ask not, "who are you?", but rather, "are you allowed?"
This was always the crucial question anyway.
