Reading a Directory of Emails - Problems

Hi,
I have a directory that contains a bunch of email messages and I would like
to parse them using the email and mailbox packages. The emails were exported
from Apple Mail. From what I gather, I need to use MHMailbox, but I can't
get it to do anything useful and I cannot find any examples of how to use
this particular mailbox type.
mbox = mailbox.MHMailbox('stat_inbox.mbox/Messages',email.message_from_file)
for msg in mbox:
print msg.keys() #just to see if anything is happening
I get an error. AttributeError: MHMailbox instance has no attribute 'keys'.
Yet this works when using PortableUnixMailbox (on an mbox file, not a
directory of emails).
Can someone help me use this type of mailbox? Am I even using the correct
type of mailbox for this?
Thanks,
Ryan
