Thunderbird also uses the mbox format. On OS X, the files are stored under
the user's home directory in Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/default/xxxxxxxx.
slt/ImapMail (or just Mail for local folders). On Windows XP,the files are
stored in the subdirectory AppData\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\
Mail; on Windows Vista the files are stored in the subdirectory AppData\
Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Mail, under the user's home directory. Note
that AppData is a hidden folder by default and the user needs to go to the
Folder Options control panel to make it visible.
Another possible format, which is used by the Apple Mail application, is
to store each message in a separate file. They are stored under the user's
home directory in Library/Mail subdirectory. The files typically have
names which identify their message ID to the mail client, but are not very
useful to the user. But they are text files which can be read by a user or
application.
Microsoft mail clients like Outlook store their mail boxes in the PST
(Personal Information Store) format. This is a binary format and not easy to
access directly. The mail client would have to be used to save each message as
text.ThenewWindowsMailinVistadoes,however,savemailfilesastextfiles.
