What is mbox2eml

Do you need to import some .eml email with your graphical client but the only thing you have is a huge mbox backup file? mbox2eml is a KISS (Keep it simple stupid) one-file app, which extracts one .eml file for every message contained in your mbox file. It uses C++ STL and some POSIX primitives.

Build

make
make install

Usage

./mbox2eml < MBoxFile

produces one file per every email contained in MBoxFile

Known bugs
