From what I can google, they're already in mbox format, so you can use mailbox.mbox to read/write to them. See http://docs.python.org/library/mailbox.html#mailbox.mbox I was already aware of. those mbox file just grow and grow until one does a 'Compress Folder'. There are additional complicated index files and caching and all. So it doesn't reflect the current state nor allows for practical modifying. I found only SimpleMAPI for the inbox&send only. the XUL api seems to be usable only from inside. Robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Also, if you modify a file you should probably remove the corresponding .sdb file, which is a cache of Thunderbird's knowledge of the mbox contents (header values and probably message offsets within the file). -- Cameron Simpson DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ ..And in all of Babylonia there was wailing and gnashing of teeth, till the prophets bade the multitudes get a grip on themselves and shape up. - Woody Allen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
