Can anyone recommend a good mbox reader, that lets me access attachments? I'd rather a reader than a regular email program, as I've tried programs without success, but if there's an email program that you've found works very well, I could also try that.
I'm trying to access some old emails from mbox archives, dating to when I used Opera for email (in 2004 - which would have been Opera 7). I know the emails are there as Google Desktop finds them, but it doesn't let me access the attachments.
I imported the files into Opera - it didn't work the first time, and the 2nd time it worked for some emails and not for others. I downloaded Thunderbird, and found I needed an extension -
Thunderbird mbox Import/Export extension - to import from mbox files. It asked me to confirm individual mboxes (there are hundreds!) which I did until I realized I was seeing the same files over and over. In the end I found less of the emails I wanted than in Opera.
I tried
Mark Lyon's GMail Loader (GML) but got an error:
Code:
raceback (most recent call last):
File "gmlw.py", line 42, in <module>
import os, sys, mailbox, smtplib, time, Pmw, webbrowser, tkFileDialog, re
ImportError: No module named Pmw
I installed perl-Mail-MboxParser but can't for the life of me figure out how to run it - I want something that doesn't require me to know what Perl is, otherwise I fear everything I want it to do will require more research.
Any suggestions, preferably for a simple reader?
