This is a post series on how I exported, converted, and made searchable a gigantic mailbox, containing ~15 years worth of email and attachments.

[[Exfiltrating data from cloud services]]
[[Journey to the Center of the MBOX]]
[[Sorting and formatting MBOX output]]
[[Preparing text files for indexing]]
[[Searching for an email indexing tool]]
