What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

An advanced email parser for Node.js that decodes MIME-formatted emails, handling everything as streams to parse very large messages with low overhead. It is in maintenance mode, receiving only security updates and critical fixes, with PostalMime recommended for new projects.

Use cases

  • parse email mime content in node.js
  • extract attachments and headers from raw email messages
  • process large email files as streams
  • decode incoming emails for an email automation pipeline
  • convert raw rfc822 email into structured json

When to choose

  • you need a battle-tested Node.js email parser for an existing project
  • you must parse very large emails (100MB+) with streaming
  • you are already in the Nodemailer ecosystem

When to avoid

  • starting a new project (use PostalMime instead)
  • you need parsing in the browser
  • you expect new features or active development
