I don't know much about the "mailbox" module; the documentation looks
straight-forward enough, what exactly is the question?
<http://docs.python.org/library/mailbox.html>?

If you want to put all the messages in a single file use mbox.

import mailbox
mybox = mailbox.mbox('my.mbox', create=True)
mybox.lock()
for message in messages:
    mybox.add(message)
mybox.flush()
mybox.unlock()
mybox.close()


To read a message into a Message object from a stream/file -

from email               import message_from_file
message = message_from_file(stream)

The best way to serialize a Message to a stream seems to be

from email.generator import Generator
tmp = BLOBManager.ScratchFile() # Create a stream
g = Generator(tmp, mangle_from_=False, maxheaderlen=60)
g.flatten(message)
tmp.seek(0)
