DArcMail program
The DArcMail program performs the searching, viewing, selecting, and exporting functions.
The DArcMail program relies on a database. The database can be implemented as a MySQL database (heavy-weight, open-source, client/server SQL database) or a Sqlite3 database (light-weight, file-based system with open-source interface for many programming languages, including C, Java, Perl, and Python).
The DArcMail program has a graphical user interface.

CmdDArcMailXml
The Like DArcMailXml, the CmdDArcMailXml program converts an .mbox file to XML. Like DArcMailXml, it does not require a database. Unlike DArcMailXml, it runs as a command-line tool, without a graphical user interface.
