Recommendations for storing text messages in data files

I'm writing a small application that needs to write out text messages to data files and maintain indexes to each message for fast random retrieval of any message. Very similar to e-mail mailboxes. I can definitely code up my own routines for this but before I do, I want to see if anybody had a recommendation for an existing free text storage database scheme. I looked at sqlite which would likely work except that it is more suited for small text blobs and each message I want to store could be between a few characters to 50K or even more. Somehow sqlite feels like the wrong solution for what I want.

So does anybody have any recommendations for something that would work for me?
Thanks!
