A Python script for extracting emails from an MBOX file into a CSV file. The script also provides the ability to filter out emails from a certain name/email address.
[1] Install Docker
[2] Clone the Repository, Run the Script!
~ $ git clone https://github.com/jarrodparkes/mbox-to-csv
~/mbox-to-csv $ cd mbox-to-csv/
~/mbox-to-csv $ ./run.shNote: You could also download the repository directly using this link.
I've provided an example.mbox file to demonstrate how the script is used. For this example, I want the script to only extract emails that parkesfjames@gmail.com sent:
~/mbox-to-csv $ ./run.sh
name of mbox file in current directory (ex. my_file.mbox): example.mbox
name of sender that you want to filter (ex. Jarrod Parkes):
email of sender that you want to filter (ex. parkesfjarrod@gmail.com): parkesrjames@gmail.com
generated csv file called clean_mail.csv
# clean_mail.csv only contains emails parkesfjames@gmail.com sent
