Ever wanted to contribute to #guix or #emacs commons ? A bit scary about the #email based workflow ? Afraid of having to manipulate thousands of emails locally ?
No worries: https://yhetil.org, a public-inbox based service, provides a nice web front end to browse for patches, issues and bugs you may contribute to fix: thread overview, outlining, reply links, thread download in #mbox format, everything you need to start contributing is there.

Me he hecho un script rapido en python para pasar los mensajes de #Gmail bajados en formato #mbox con #googletakeout con fecha a partir del 1 de enero de 2023 a un nuevo fichero mbox para importar en @Tutanota el mbox completo de 15GB ya está #7z con contraseña en un @veracrypt si todo va bien compartiré el python en un gist (es mu tonto y muy a lo rápido eso si).
Okay Fediverse, save my sanity. Is there an EML to MBox converter I can trust?
Because Proton's so-called "Backup" is in EML not MBox, so I can't just import it easily into FastMail or a similar privacy-centric email service. (Because why make it easy? Ugh).
And no, I do not want to pay for a one-time use thing. Any suggestions? #EML #MBox #Email
Suggestions for a good mbox app for Mac?
I'm clearing my data off of Google, but would like to keep my 15+ years of Gmail archives searchable on my computer.
I've downloaded a 13 GB mbox folder.... What should I use to open this? I will need to search through it regularly for information.
Et hop, une nouvelle fiche Format en cours de validation. On y parle de #MBOX, un format de dossier de messagerie libre - mais faiblement normalisé :

I wrote a very simple elisp function to open a remote mbox file from emacs.
Super useful when you want to open a lore.kernel.org thread from a mailing list you are not subscribed to and answer/review some mails.
Just execute
M-x jroi-rmail-url
and enter the relevant mbox.gz URL.

I looked for MBOX parser to parse out some headers from multiple files into CSV, checked a couple of Github python scripts, but then decided that pure bash grep and regex is faster (and it was).

Alguém sabe se é possível gerir os mails de uma cópia de segurança de Gmail (em formato .mbox) com Thunderbird (@thunderbird)? E se não é possível... alguma ideia alternativa? Obrigado!
Tenho a caixa de correios cheia e tenho que deixar funcionando essa memória histórica antes de apagar todo...
Something better to do · Rambling about hacking on my creaky old email archival infrastructureWhat started out as a simple message archiving task turned into many hours of debugging, fixing, and cleaning up the old archives. Both frustrating and fun at the same time.
Regarding #email, screw the old #filesystem-centric non #transactional approach btw.
Program crashed while you were modifying a mail? Who knows what the on-disk file looks like now. You had it git-versioned? Good. If all goes well and git or the computer itself doesn't crash while updating things, that might be enough.
Even key-value #databases like #BerkeleyDB do it better, and they did so before #SQLite even existed.
So why can't I have tools using DBs?
Finally got all my gmails downloaded. Goes back to 1996! It was ~10gb in size. Gasp 
Installed Thunderbird. Made an account with a dud email. Faffed in the settings with "local folders". Pointed it at the dir where I'd put the mbox download... and ... bam! Works great!
Now I can delete 20 years off my gmail. I hope....
