DArcMailXml allows you to convert one or more .mbox files to an XML file, with using a database. The XML follows the preservation EMA (Email Account) schema, co-developed by North Carolina State Archives and Smithsonian Institution Archives. The schema can be found at www.history.ncdcr.gov/SHRAB/ar/emailpreservation/mail-account/mail-account.xsd
The main DArcMailXml program is the file DArcMailXml.py. If the .py extension has been associated with the Python interpreter (on Windows) or with the Terminal application (on Mac OS X), then you can double-click the file to start the program. Otherwise, you can start the program from a Windows command prompt window or from a Mac OS X Terminal window.
