Thanks. I was a little deterred by the protocol specs myself, but at the
time it was starting to look like the only easy (?) way to interface Outlook
Express mai folders. Still might be easier than a plethora of mailbox import
routines, but some of those are already available in the mailbox module.

Thanks to an earlier response I now have Python code which will dump these
in RFC 822 format, so it looks like I'll be reprieved.

Once the Python code is cleaned up a little I'll be releasing it to the
public domain. Might take a while, as other projects are currently more
pressing.
