Package mbox parses the mbox file format into messages and formats messages into mbox files.
Please refer to GoDoc for the API documentation.
This package does not provide advanced mbox manipulation functionalities, like deleting, searching, etc.
If you get a bufio.Scanner: token too long error, you need to increase the
buffer size of the scanner. To double the buffer size you'd do something like
this:
s := mbox.NewScanner(...)
bufsize := 2*bufio.MaxScanTokenSize
buf := make([]byte, bufsize)
s.Buffer(buf, bufsize)
This project is in maintenance mode. I am not actively working on this package any more, but I am responding to issues and merge the occasional pull request. If you miss any functionality, feel free to send pull requests.
If you are interested in taking over this package, ping me.

Both packages provide ways to parse the mbox file format. After looking at the code of both packages I decided to roll my own variant, leveraging the standard library as much as possible. This implementation basically boils down to one well tested split function for bufio.Scanner.
