LOGOS: Reading Thunderbird messages with a NetRexx/Java program.

[Thomas.Schneider.Wien]

Hello there,
    for my LOGOS Project (LOGOS::= The Natural Ianguage LEARNING,
TRAINING, TEACHING and TRANSLATION machine) I would like to read
my Thunderbird Archives/Folders with Java classes and methods.

Questions:

    1.) Has anybody of you already experimented with this?
    2.) Any NetRexx Code available?

The alpha release of LOGOS is scheduled for 1.4.2011 (five languages:
Polish, Danish, Dutch, German, English)

Thomas.

As far as I know, Thunderbird (and SeaMonkey mail, for that matter,
use the "Somewhat  standard" MBOX format.

Thomas, do you not see that you could have asked for help WITHOUT yet
another gratuitous advertisement for one of your projects?

   "Hello there,
    I would like to read my Thunderbird Archives/Folders with Java
    classes and methods."

If it is relevant to the answer, someone will ask you what you are
using it for, otherwise it just pisses off the very people from whom
you are soliciting help.

Despite being one of those very people, I'll offer this.  It should be
enough to either get you started or to decide that it's more than you
want to tackle:

  1. A Thunderbird folder is just a flat file containing your mail,
and can be read with any flavor of Rexx (or Notepad for that matter).
  2. Individual emails in the file start with a "From - " line and
continue to a blank line followed by another "From - " line.
  3. Unless you "COMPACT" the Thunderbird folder first, deleted/moved
emails will still be in the file.
  3. There are 'way too many email encoding formats to deal with.
