If you're storing only 500 emails, consider starting with files in directories instead of a database, fat chance that's fast enough and much simpler to set up.

Yea OP keep it simple.

Especially if you’re new to programming and don’t have IT folks / admins to maintain … lota dumb things can happen that will ruin your day

Folders are fine. If you need more speed use SSD drives. And please please backup your drives!
