"Permission denied" generally means that the script can't access whatever you're trying to point it at. I don't know that I can really help with that too much, but I did notice that you're trying to pass the same thing for both the JSON file (-j) parameter and the mailbox path (-p) parameter, which doesn't make sense. A thing can't really be a JSON file and a mailbox path at the same time.

Sir, I tried to put both of them in diff folder as you suggested . Also i tried not to use json option at all. I am not giving any timestamp format either. I also changed my mbox file name to "mailbox.mbox".

mbox file is in D drive (non os drive), anaconda is in C drive (OS drive) I have taken ownership of both the folders to current user which is already administrator.

Still, I am getting same error.

Anyother thing i should try. Thank you in advance.

Sorry -- your questions are garbled enough that I can't make heads or tails of them. I have no idea what's happening on your end, and very little faith in my ability to decipher your comments to figure it out.
