I've been thinking along similar lines and in fact, a lot of what you're saying is laid out in the documentation for mail scanner. I haven't yet been able to test it because I haven't been able to get the current version (7) of CoreBOS to connect to my Exchange server via IMAP. It's being a stinker.
However, when I "attach" messages to CoreBOS I usually do so at the Organization level rather than the contact level; that's just my preference though. I definitely understand what you're saying. And now you've got me really curious so I'm going to have to start testing this.
"Any Message To a contact": this would be redundant "if" you're using the webmail module in CoreBOS. Mail to a client (contact) should be attached to the contact during the sending process as I understand it so there shouldn't be any need to scan a "sent" folder, locate and attach it to the contact. Additionally, you can go to the contact record and send a message which definitely attaches that sent message to the contact record. So, if all that holds true we're back at scanning for, and attaching incoming messages filtering on the From field and then giving direction as to what is to be done with it.
