Is Mail::Miner something worth considering?

I'm soon going to have to embark on something similar to this (the
initial post in this thread reminded me I needed to go searching for
"Whatever it was Simon demo'd in a l.pm tech-talk many moons ago").

I've not had a chance to investigate Email::Store or Mail::Miner
properly (yet).  That's on my near-future TODO list.

Do they cover roughly the same problem space?
