Ten years ago (that's a scary thought in itself) I used to work as a consultant
for various document management solutions. One of the products we used
was Alfresco, which was pretty decent and also available under the GPL
(though there's also a commercial Enterprise edition).
At the time, it had a feature that allowed you to suck in data from Email.
Whether it's still any good or not, or at all suitable for your needs, I don't
know. It's probably quite a heavy weight and feature rich option. Whatever
you choose, it probably needs to be a solution that's going to last a
reasonably long time.
