grepmail is a tool for searching emails within mbox mailboxes.[4][5] It is capable of searching the emails' headers, in addition to the full text of the emails.[6] It is suitable for use in digital forensics investigations involving email, as long as the size of the mbox files involved is not excessive.[4][5]
Features
[edit]Grepmail has powerful temporal searching capabilities. For example, it can retrieve messages sent in a given window of time, regardless of day, for some given mbox.[4][5]
Grepmail can create a new mbox containing all the emails matching a query, so that these can be viewed in a Mail User Agent.[7]
Grepmail can search inside compressed mboxes.[3]
