Cool, a couple of code comments:

__init__ looks fine as it is.
parseToCouch():
  I see that you store them with the Message-ID as key. In theory (and
  also in practice) you can have 2 emails with the exact same Message
  ID. In this case, you overwrite your messages.

  msgid = msgid[1:-1] Would be nice to have a comment that you are
  cutting of pointy brackets here.

The rest of the file actually looks quite ok to me. I see a couple of
things we should migrate to the Base folder implementation, like the
definition of getaccountname().

Looking good to me. Even better if it works.

Nice. Seems decent and optional enough to push as experimental. My only
reservation is the reliance on unique Message-IDs for the filenames.
