Hello:I need an mbox file viewer GUI program for openSUSE. A program I can use for opening mbox email files in a local directory. Thunderbird, Evolution, Clawsmail all can open/import mbox files, but they require setting up an email account which I don't want. I only want to open local mbox files and possibly manipulate them (view, save, copy to other folder). Pine/alpine can do this nicely, but it is a terminal program. I need something similar that is GUI and can show attached images. Is there something like that for linux?Thanks in advance,Istvanps: I apologize if the message is garbled, it's the mail system I use.

Assuming you don't already have it: 1. Install emacs-x11. 2. Run emacs. 3. Type "C-u M-x rmail RET" (where "C-u M-x" in Emacs-speak is "Ctl-u Alt-X" in X11 speak). 4. Supply the name of the mbox file, followed by RET. 5. Type "C-h b" to see the available commands in Rmail. Emacs should only ask you to set up an account if you try to send a message. -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/

It works but it still seems to me as a character based mail reader in a GUI window, like alpine in xterm. I could not find it yet how to view attached images. I will have to learn it.___Thank you,___Istvan

This one is from 2021 and version 78 but should still work. https://www.howtogeek.com/709718/how-to-open-an-mbox-file-in-mozilla-thunder... -- /bengan

That's a very curious procedure, to fool a program in doing your want :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)

not so, and very useful. at first, use "thunderbird -p" to start a new session of thunderbird (from a terminal). Name it "localmbox" for example. then point to your "Archives.sbd" file (my case), th opens it. like this one can save/backup any mailbox and read it some time in the future (I didn't test all the options) jdd -- https://dodin.org

I tested it in different thunderbird versions and it works up to thunderbird 91. In 102 adding Feeds will not create local folders, you need to set up an email account (which doesn't need to be correct) to create the local folders. The email account can be deleted afterwards.___Thanks again,___Istvan
