Introduction

Emailchemy is a utility that helps you regain ownership of your email.  Emailchemy reads email from the proprietary formats of the most popular (and many of yesterday's forgotten) email applications and converts it to a standard, portable format that any application can use.
 
The primary idea behind Emailchemy was to convert all the various proprietary email formats to The One True Email Format - RFC-822 (found at: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html).  This is the official Internet/ARPAnet standard for e-mail that has been around since 1973.  However, Emailchemy was built with a “pluggable” architecture that allows it to easily convert to other formats as well.
 
Things you can do with Emailchemy:
·         Convert email to standard formats
·         Repair or clean mailbox files
·         Remove proprietary extensions from mailbox files
·         Condense/split separate email files and archives
·         Prepare email for entry into a database
·         Make older email Year 2000 compliant
