README
gmail-mbox-analyzer
If your Google Mail is full and you want to understand why, gmail-mbox-analyzer may help.
This tool has two functions:
- Converts an mbox file, probably exported from Google Takeout, into a SQLite database.
- Provides a gloriously HTML 1.0 UI for drilling down by label, year, domain, and sender.
Installation
- Ensure Rust is installed, probably via rustup.
- From a shell:
cargo install gmail-mbox-analyzer - You may need to install sqlite3 system libraries. For example, on
Ubuntu,
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
Usage
First, retrieve your mbox file from Takeout.
Then, from a command line, convert it to a SQLite database:
gmail-mbox-analyzer index "All mail Including Spam and Trash.mbox" mail.sqlite
Finally, load the report view:
gmail-mbox-analyzer report mail.sqlite
It will tell you to load a URL like http://localhost:31200/
Credits
This software wouldn't exist without the excellent mbox-reader, mail-parser, and rusqlite crates. With them, it only took a few evenings.
