Netscape/Mozilla Mailbox Processing

on Feb 28, 2002 at 20:46 UTC ( [id://148370]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

dave_aiello has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I use Mozilla 0.9.2.1 as my web browser and email client on my laptop, after making the transition from Netscape 4.78. Since I have only been using Linux as my primary operating system for about a year, I am used to using the email client in Netscape/Mozilla, rather than something more UNIX-oriented.

I want to write a Perl script to go through my Inbox file, parse the messages, and archive or dispose of certain mail messages. How would you recommend doing this?

Thanks

    Mail::Box and Mail::Header may be of use. You can also browse through all the modules in the mail category on cpan here.

    Hope that helps :)

    Have a look at Mail::Audit "Library for creating easy mail filters" while you're at it. There's also an article on the subject on perl.com.
