[Andrew Denner]

A possibility if you are willing to write some code would be to use the python mailbox package.  https://docs.python.org/3/library/mailbox.html

Then copy the resulting mbox files to wherever you need them long-term? I think Thunderbird could do this pretty easily. I'm guessing most of the CLI clients would also work.On 2024-03-20 13:49, L.
