I need to get informations out from my tree of Thunderbird message folders (which contains a large amount of email).

I need to be able to search the messages (optionally the attachments) and to report to the calling program.

There is some python module able to do it?

Answer 1

As you apparently figured out yourself already, yes.

The vanilla python module mailbox, which exists in any python 2 or 3 version, is all you need:
