I've needed many times to move some of my emails to another place, and it's been a hard time every time.

Searching on the Web, I found many small tools in Python that can read or write emails to one or more email storages so I've decided to build a tool that can move emails from any source to any target. I will make easy to use with a nice interface with PyQt4.

MailToolboxStudio will be handy in the following situations :

• You are changing ISP and want to move your mail from the old ISP's IMAP server to the new one
• You have multiple mail storages and want to centralize it in a single storage, either locally or "in the cloud"
• You want to extract attachments from mails
• You want to split your mail into folders based on mail sender, date or other categories
• You want to extract mail informations as lists : mail addresses, dates, subjects, size
• Your company forces you to use a mail reader, and you want to use another one (MailToolboxStudio will not help you in sending mail)

MailToolboxStudio is not designed to :

• Synchronize 2 or more mail storages
• Backup mail, as it would read all mails from the source each time.
• View mail
• Send or receive mail

MailToolboxStudio currently can :

• Read mail from Lotus Notes (the initial need I had)
• Read and write from Maildir, Mbox and Thunderbird mail storages, using standard Python library
• Edit, save and load projects (passwords are saved in clear text)
• Only 2 mail transformations are working, but not fully tested

I intend to work in order on :

• IMAP access, read and write, including SSL/TLS
• Outlook access, read and write (local program, not the public webmail)
• Making more mail transformations work
