Here is the entire save-to-mbox code form my own mailfiler:
text = M.as_string(True).replace('\nFrom ', '\n>From ')
with open(folderpath, "a") as mboxfp:
mboxfp.write(text)
where M is the current message, a Message object.
Note that this does _not_ assume ASCII output. The process here is:
- transcribe the message to a Python 3 str (so Unicode code points)
- replace embedded "From " to protect the mbox format
- open the mbox for append - the _default_ encoding is utf-8
- write the message in utf-8 because of the open mode
This sidesteps the library you're using which may well do something
ASCII based. And it has _never_ failed for me.
