Answer 1

To get the rest of the string after the second instance of the space delimiter:

SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(MsgRest, ' ', 1), ' ', -1) AS EMailID
,  SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(MsgRest, ' ', 2), ' ', -1) AS DOB
,  IF(
    LOCATE(' ', `MsgRest`) > 0,
    TRIM(SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING(`MsgRest`, LOCATE(' ', `MsgRest`) +1), 
         LOCATE(' ', SUBSTRING(`MsgRest`, LOCATE(' ', `MsgRest`) +1)) +1)),
    NULL
) AS Person
