I'm not sure what you are asking for specifically (I'd need to setup
Outlook 97 to figure it out). You can save the .eml's in Thunderbird (as
you say to the filesystem) but I see no way to save to a folder inside
the mail client. On plugin that may be of help (works on both
Thunderbird and SeaMonkey) is:

You might poke around that and see if that meets your needs. Note: don't
bother trying with Opera as I can't seem to find a way to do this with
that either.
