How do I parse an .ost file into separate emails (preferably with Python)

Question

I am currently trying to parse a .ost file into individual items & emails. I have used libpst to accomplish this for .pst files however this doesn't seem to support .ost's. My operating system is Ubuntu Server 16.04. Any and all suggestions are very welcome!!!

For pst files: sudo readpst -o -D -j 4 -r -u -w -m

Answer 1

I have parsed pst and ost files using Libpff's Python binding called Pypff . It was able to parse the ost file I had given as input.

You can have a look at my SO answer on how to Export PST and OST with pypff / libpff for a detailed description.
