Commodore OS Vision Forum

Thanks, I'm not a SystemD fan either. Are there any additional repositories you recommend, Guix maybe?

Oh, you mean package managers.
I try to stick to regular debs and appimages.
Snap is installed, but I think I had some things work and others not.
I think it was flatpaks that didn't work at all.
Could be wrong. It's been a while since I worried about it.

I would be interested to know how you go with Guix on Commodore OS.
If there is anything on there that that we can't get in deb I would be surprised, but if there is something that would be really nice to have let me know, and perhaps we can auto-install it in an update.

Speaking of which....Beta 6 --> 8 update incoming. Final testing.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently running Commodore OS Vision (based on Linux Mint) on my retro setup, and I'm looking to integrate a mail extraction tool into the system. Specifically, I'd like to extract email contents (subject, sender, attachments, etc.) from local mail files (like .eml, .mbox, or even direct POP3/IMAP fetch if possible).

I'm encountering a few issues:

Most of the mail parsing tools I've found (like Mailparser, ripMIME, or munpack) are either outdated, not easily compatible with Commodore OS, or difficult to install due to dependency issues.

I tried installing Python-based options like mail-parser and imapclient, but ran into library errors and some compatibility issues with the OS version.

I want a lightweight, GUI-based (optional) or CLI-based solution that won't heavily impact the system’s performance.

Has anyone successfully installed and used any email parsing or extraction software on Commodore OS? I'd appreciate:

Recommendations for compatible software/tools

Installation steps or any tricks for resolving dependency errors

Any working examples for extracting fields from .eml or fetching via IMAP

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to any help or advice you can share.

Hi extractmails,

I'm currently running Commodore OS Vision (based on Linux Mint)
Commodore OS Vision 1 was based on Linux Mint but 2 and 3 are based on MXLinux.
And just for the record, contrary to some reports out there , I actually created version 1 and not just 2 and 3.

Perhaps you could try a windows solution running under wine.
