Is there a API/possibilty for reading&writing (live) in the mail box tree of
Thunderbird/Seamonkey with Python?

From what I can google, they're already in mbox format, so you can use
mailbox.mbox to read/write to them.
See http://docs.python.org/library/mailbox.html#mailbox.mbox


I was already aware of. those mbox file just grow and grow until one does a 'Compress Folder'. There are additional complicated index files and caching and all. So it doesn't reflect the current state nor allows for practical modifying. I found only SimpleMAPI for the inbox&send only. the XUL api seems to be usable only from inside.
