Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: The aforementioned python-dev thread (available at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-June/101186.html ) explains things quite well. The mailbox module needs to be modified to use binary I/O, both for functionality and for speed. Right now, I don't know how the mailbox module can be useful in py3k (you'd quickly run into unicode errors as soon as you try to read an email with another charset, I think).
