maildirstats

maildirstats is just a very small python script which aims to gather some plaintext data about your local maildir.

I use offlineimap and mairix for my imap mail account to be able to search through my mails easily integrated in mutt. But as I am interested in statistics in all kind of data I created this little script to get a short overview of my mails.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/noqqe/maildirstats
$ cd maildirstats
$ python maildirstats.py
$ # or even better:
$ python maildirstats.py > report.txt

But at first specify your maildir path within the script ;) See below.

Configuration

The configuration part is just two lines at the top of the script.

maildirpath="/path/to/your/Maildir/"
blacklist="<regex>"

In my case, RegEx looks something like

blacklist="(Archives*|Spam|.mairixdb|Archives.*Social|.*Tech)"

If you dont want to exclude any directoy, just comment out the blacklist variable.

Results

the output that you can expect looks something like this (shortened for readability):
