mbox2mysql
mbox2mysql takes mailbox files used by email clients and stores the messages in a MySQL database. Messages can be searched, sorted, and filtered by sending SQL queries to the database. Results are output on the console, so selected messages can be extracted from the database and stored back in mbox format for use with your favourite email client. Email attachments can also be extracted and saved from selected messages.

I have added an singly qut masqreding to the script because it fails when in the subject is an single qout:
Original:
if ($header =~ m/<em>Subject<\/em>:(.*)/) { $subject = $1; }
New:
if ($header =~ m/<em>Subject<\/em>:(.*)/) { ($subject = $1) =~ s/'/\\'/g; }
This works fine.
Tiny compile bugfix
I found a tiny bug in the Makefile that would prevent successful compilation on some systems (although everything works fine on mine). It's been fixed, so compilation and installation should run smoothly now.
