mbox2csv is a Ruby gem that provides a simple way to parse MBOX files and export email data into CSV format. It also generates valuable email statistics for data mining tasks, such as the number of emails sent by each sender and recipient and average body lengths. This is ideal for analyzing email datasets or processing email archives.

$ gem install mbox2csv

require 'mbox2csv'

# Define file paths
mbox_file = '/path/to/the/INBOX_file'
all_emails = 'emails.csv'
sender_stats_all_emails = 'email_statistics.csv'
recipient_stats_all_emails = 'recipient_statistics.csv'

# Initialize the parser with the file paths
parser = Mbox2CSV::MboxParser.new(mbox_file, all_emails, sender_stats_all_emails, recipient_stats_all_emails)

# Parse the MBOX file, save email data, and generate statistics
parser.parse

# Extract attachments
parser.extract_attachments(extract: true, filetypes: %w[pdf jpg], output_folder: "exports")
