Read MBOX

Reads messages from an MBOX mailbox archive.

Code

using DRIT.Mail.Rfc.Mbox;

using var reader = new MboxReader("archive.mbox");

foreach (var message in reader.Messages)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"From:    {message.From}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Subject: {message.Subject}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Date:    {message.Date}");
    Console.WriteLine();
}

Remarks

MboxReader parses an MBOX file as defined in RFC 4155. Each message in the archive is delimited by a From line. The Messages collection lazily materializes messages as they are enumerated.
