Reading a Directory of Emails - Problems

[StatsJunkie]

Thanks. I tried that, but absolutely nothing is printed to the screen. 

This is the code I am trying to use.

mbox = mailbox.MHMailbox("stat_inbox.mbox/Messages",email.message_from_file) 
for msg in mbox:
     print(msg)          #just to see if anything is happening

Which mailbox type did you use? Perhaps MHMailbox in the wrong one...?
