Specifically an Apple Mail .mbox file. I'm looking for a way to browse the emails it contains short of just importing it back into Apple Mail and cluttering up my currents emails.
I don't mind having to convert the mbox file to something else if need be.
A command line tool is also fine (preferred even).
Many thanks if anyone can help!

OS X, like most Unix and Linux variants, has the command-line mail and mailx clients.
You can see if they will read your .mbox file. They do use mbox as one of the filenames they handle.
mail -f ~/.mbox
Use the x command to exit without changing the file.
Paused until further notice.

I might create a secondary user and import your file there... Easy-peasy browsing without cluttering up your account.

I'm assuming it needs to be for/in OS X? Or would a windows or linux solution be fine? – Journeyman Geek – 2012-07-13T23:54:24.553
