PHP email parser?

[Sugapablo]

Before I laboriously write one, I was trying to find a PHP script that
would take an email spool file and parse it, putting each part into an
array (including attachments).

The eventual goal would be to take each individual array element and put
them into a MySQL database.

I've searched a bit and can't find one. Anyone know of one?

An email spool file... what do you mean with that? IMHO email spool
files are things you shouldn't touch since they are under control of a
smtpd. And I guess that the spoolfiles are different for different
smtp daemons.

Excuse me. I mean more properly, the mbox files stored in your $HOME
directory for apps like pine.

The IMAP module could be used AFAIK (according to the imap_open user
notes by supplying an absolute path to the mbox). imap_structure can be
used to construct the array you need.

But also I remember Manuel Lemos posting some class to do this to a
similar question.

Try with Mail_Mime PEAR package. They also have an example.
