maildir-featurizer 0.1

Get features of a maildir very quickly, by not opening the files.

As a side effect, the features reveal little private information.

I made this for my dada portal; I wanted to be able to analyze my emails in the context of other things, but I didn’t want to have sensitive information in my dada portal.

It implements only a subset of the maildir filename format. (http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html).

I use it like this to find only the emails I sent.

./maildir_featurizer.py my-maildir/*/*/Sent/

Or, if you install it,

maildir-featurizer my-maildir/*/*/Sent/

Or, from Python, which is how I really use it,

from maildir_featurizer import messages
for message in messages('my-maildir'):
    print(message)
