Access thunderbird emails by python
email, python, thunderbird
Solution
As you apparently figured out yourself already, yes.
The vanilla python module `mailbox`, which exists in any python 2 or 3 version, is all you need:

Problem
I need to get informations out from my tree of Thunderbird message folders (which contains a large amount of email). I need to be able to search the messages (optionally the attachments) and to report to the calling program. There is some python module able to do it?
