Mboxgrep
Jul 20, 2023
Utility to scan mailboxes for messages matching a regular expression
mboxgrep is a small utility that scans a mailbox for messages matching a regular expression. Found messages can be either displayed on standard output, counted, deleted, piped to a shell command or written to another mailbox.
Its features include
- ability to limit the search to message body or headers although the whole message is scanned by default
- message counting
- ability to invert the sense of matching
- ability to write found messages to another mailbox
- support for mbox either plain or compressed, MH, nnmh, nnml and maildir folders
- support for basic and extended POSIX regular expressions, and, optionally, Perl-complatible regular expressions if linked with the PCRE library
