Mbox Ingest

Terminal window
mailatlas ingest mbox data/fixtures/atlas-demo.mbox \
--db .mailatlas/store.db \
--workspace .mailatlas/workspace

An mbox file is a mailbox file on disk, often created by an export or by another local mail tool. MailAtlas iterates each message in that file, preserves provenance and metadata, and writes deduplicated records into the default filesystem plus SQLite store.

If you want MailAtlas to connect to a live mailbox instead, use mailatlas sync imap.
