In a recent thread ["Corrupted Folder?"] a _MozillaZine Knowledge Base_
article was referenced.
I would recommend anyone needing to understand mbox format to begin with
"Recover messages from a corrupt folder"
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recover_messages_from_a_corrupt_folder]. I
wish I had seen that article when exploring the feasibility of
retrieving individual email referencing one of my projects. Though
targeting mail recovery it is an excellent survey with links to more
detailed information.
A cursory websearch indicates that http://kb.mozillazine.org has over
200 articles discussing email formats.
Since the mbox format is just one big text file, I have fixed and
removed messages from corrupted accounts with simple perl scripts. For
example sometimes folks delete messages and since they have not
*compress* them a simple script to change the status flags on each
message with a regexp can "undelete" them.
