Hmm, the guys in M$ use some weird format to store the folders(including the inbox) in OE. These files are located in:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\{your identitie in hex code}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

To find out how to use this file format I suggest you look at the MSDN library....But why get mail from outlook and other applications? Why not get the mail using your application, there is an already written example in the Demos folder that does this....
About storing , the sky's the limit, you can store the mails as plain txt files, binary...it's up to you,
Hope this helped,
