eml file data extraction

[ajetrumpet]

I have kind of a unique situation here guys. I have 1000 dbx files, which are from outlook express. each one of these files contains ''x'' email messages to and from one sender only. these files represent mozilla thunderbird folders and the email messages stored inside them from a previous machine he was working with. I was told that python has many packages to do many different kinds of work, and this was one task that falls into that category. I don't believe Python can read DBX files, but I was told that EML files are so common, it can. I know nothing about Python but have been programming for years. I was wondering if anyone here could take a look at the attached shot and tell me if these errors are a result of user error on my part, or the fact that the package I am trying to install is out of date and/or not compatible for some reason. I am a little disappointed at how branched out the programming world is becoming. There seems to be a million different solutions for any given problem, and I simply don't have the time to search all day long for what works and what doesn't with ''x'' system. Do any thoughts come to mind from anyone here based on what you see? thanks much.

oh, and the package I downloaded is here: https://pypi.org/project/emaildata/0.3.4/

without looking at the packages, here's what's available for dbx: https://pypi.org/search/?q=dbx
I leave it up to you to review what each does.
The code repositories of each can be found by clicking the homepage link.
In the repository, you may find more detailed documentation (on not)

Lars,

Like I said, I have a converter to change DBX to EML. but have you ever worked with the package I referenced? the ""emaildata"" package?
