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]
