mbox file parser for Node.js.
From the NPM repository:
$ npm install node-mbox
From the Github repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/robertklep/node-mbox.git
$ cd node-mbox
$ npm install [-g]
This module parses mbox files, as described here. Starting with version 0.1.0, it's pretty speedy, processing a 700MB mbox file in about 3 seconds.
Note that this module doesn't parse the mail messages themselves, for which other solutions exist (for example the quite able mailparser module from Andris Reinman).
See the included example.js:
$ npm install mailparser
$ node example < test/test.mbox
encoding: output encoding (default:binary).
var Mbox = require('node-mbox');
// First, different types of instantiation:
// 1. pass it a filename
var mbox = new Mbox('filename', { /* options */ });
// 2. pass it a string
var fs = require('fs');
var mailbox = fs.readFileSync('filename');
var mbox = new Mbox(mailbox, { /* options */ });
// 3. pass it a stream
var fs = require('fs');
var stream = fs.createReadStream('filename');
var mbox = new Mbox(stream, { /* options */ });
// 4. pipe a stream to it
var mbox = new Mbox({ /* options */ });
process.stdin.pipe(mbox);
// Next, catch events generated:
mbox.on('message', function(msg) {
console.log('got a message', msg);
});
mbox.on('end', function() {
console.log('done reading mbox file');
});There is a limited number of tests:
