I want to write a utility to sync my Mozilla Thunderbird mail repository with a SQL database. I'm looking around for a set of java classes that can parse the Thunderbird mail repository. All I need is an easy way to get the mail messages out of TBird files and into MimeMessage or perhaps James Mail objects.

From what I have have learned, I believe Thunderbird uses MBox format for its mail. I have also seen references to James using MBox as well for its file-based repository option.

First question.... how similar, if at all, is the TBird MBox format to the James MBox format?

Second question... would it be possible to use the James MBox package of classes to parse the TBird repository?

I have no problem writing a little code. I just don't want to have to learn how to interpret and parse the MBox format if at all possible.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Jerry
