[NTLUG:Discuss] eMail Retrieval and Archival

[Burton Strauss III]

Also, look at Fookes Software Aid4Mail (yes, it's only a Windows package),
but it can read just about everything and turn it into a searchable,
indexable archive.

http://www.aid4mail.com/, esp.
http://www.aid4mail.com/specifications.php#formats

"All versions of Aid4Mail can read mail from:

Outlook Express (versions 4, 5, and 6) 
Windows Mail (Windows Vista mail client) 
Windows Live Mail 
EML message files (*.eml) 
Mac OS X Mail (Mail.app or Apple Mail) message files (*.emlx) 
Mozilla mailbox files (including Netscape and Thunderbird) 
Generic mailbox files (mbox, Entourage MBOX, Berkeley mail, BSD mail, Unix
mail format) 
Pine mbox files (with limited "From " escaping) 
Eudora mailbox files (*.toc and *.mbx) 
Macintosh Eudora mailbox files 
PocoMail/Barca mailbox files (*.idx, *.idb, and *.mbx) 
Opera mailbox files (*.mbs) 
Forte Agent mailbox files (*.idx) 
The Bat! mailbox files (*.msb and *.tbb) 
Pegasus mailbox files (*.pmi, *.pmm, and *.cnm) 
Calypso and Courier archive files 
PMMail message files (*.msg) 
FoxMail mailbox files (*.box) 
maildir folders (local copies) 
Mailbag Assistant mailbox files (*.mbg) 
E-mail Examiner mailbox files (*.pmx)"
