I'm using the plugin with an imap emailaccount. Is it possible (just like in the Apple mail app) to go to the related reply of an email message. Does Apple wright it away with the reply id with the original message? If yes, is it possible to read out with the EmailReadMessageValue function?

What you are talking about is called threading, and it's something that is a common feature of email clients, but not part of the actual email message itself. Many email clients will compare message timestamps, subjects, and message bodies to see what messages they are related to and organize them in your client accordingly. It would be possible for you to program something similar in your filemaker database (though it wouldn't be easy) and achieve similar functionality. This would be done with scripting and calculations in your database, and not part of the email plugin.
