MBOX Import Script (Prototype)

I've prototyped an MBOX importer that injects messages directly into the msgvault SQLite database. This bypasses the need for an intermediate format and works with standard MBOX exports (e.g., Google Takeout).

Features

  • Direct SQLite Injection: populates sources, conversations, messages, participants, message_recipients, and message_bodies.
  • Threading: Uses X-GM-THRID (Gmail) or falls back to Subject-based threading.
  • Deduplication: Uses Message-ID.
  • Participants: Extracts and normalizes names/emails for participants table.

Usage

python3 import_mbox.py path/to/archive.mbox path/to/msgvault.db

Script (import_mbox.py)

(See attached file import_mbox.py in the repo)
