List, I'm trying to import hundreds of thousands of e-mail messages into a database with Python. However, some of these mailboxes are so large that they are giving errors when being read with the standard mailbox module. I created a buffered reader, that reads chunks of the mailbox, splits them using the re.split function with a compiled regexp, and imports each chunk as a message. The regular expression work is where the bottle-neck appears to be, based on timings. I'm wondering if there is a faster way to do this, or some other method that you all would recommend.
