Thanks for mboxshell - a CLI tool to open .mbox email exports. It's so fast that it actually opens (once indexed) a 3GB file in under 1s. Indexing took about 15 seconds!

And it does some fast analysis (using `stats` command) too.

Lafite is the email client application of Medley Interlisp. The Lafite-to-mbox tool converts from the file format of Lafite mail, derived from the Laurel mailer developed at Xerox PARC for the Alto workstation, to the Unix mbox format.

Ever wanted to contribute to #guix or #emacs commons ? A bit scary about the #email based workflow ? Afraid of having to manipulate thousands of emails locally ?

No worries: https://yhetil.org, a public-inbox based service, provides a nice web front end to browse for patches, issues and bugs you may contribute to fix: thread overview, outlining, reply links, thread download in #mbox format, everything you need to start contributing is there.

Me he hecho un script rapido en python para pasar los mensajes de #Gmail bajados en formato #mbox con #googletakeout con fecha a partir del 1 de enero de 2023 a un nuevo fichero mbox para importar en @Tutanota el mbox completo de 15GB ya está #7z con contraseña en un @veracrypt si todo va bien compartiré el python en un gist (es mu tonto y muy a lo rápido eso si).

Okay Fediverse, save my sanity. Is there an EML to MBox converter I can trust?

Because Proton's so-called "Backup" is in EML not MBox, so I can't just import it easily into FastMail or a similar privacy-centric email service. (Because why make it easy? Ugh).

And no, I do not want to pay for a one-time use thing. Any suggestions? #EML #MBox #Email

Suggestions for a good mbox app for Mac?

I'm clearing my data off of Google, but would like to keep my 15+ years of Gmail archives searchable on my computer.

I've downloaded a 13 GB mbox folder.... What should I use to open this? I will need to search through it regularly for information.
