37 \fBreadpst\fR is a program that can read an Outlook PST (Personal Folders) file and convert it into an mbox file, a format suitable for KMail, a recursive mbox structure, or separate emails\&.
|

|
39 .SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
40
|
|
41 .TP
|
|
42 \-c \fIformat\fR
|
|
43 Set the Contact output mode\&. Use \-cv for vcard format or \-cl for an email list\&.
|
|
44
|
16
|
45 .TP
|
19
|
46 \-d \fIdebug\-file\fR
|
|
47 Specify name of debug log file\&. Defaults to "readpst\&.log"\&. The log file isn't an ascii file, it is a binary file readable by \fBreadpstlog\fR\&.
|
|
48
|
|
49 .TP
|
|
50 \-h
|
|
51 Show summary of options\&.

|
54 \-k
|
|
55 Changes the output format to KMail\&.
|
|
56
|
16
|
57 .TP
|
19
|
58 \-o \fIoutput\-directory\fR
|
|
59 Specifies the output directory\&. The directory must already exist, and is entered after the PST file is opened, but before any processing of files commences\&.
|
|
60
|
16
|
61 .TP
|
19
|
62 \-q
|

63 Changes to silent mode\&. No feedback is printed to the screen, except for error messages\&.
|
|
64
|
|
65 .TP
|
|
66 \-r
|
|
67 Changes the output format to Recursive\&. This will create folders as named in the PST file, and will put all emails in a file called "mbox" inside each folder\&. These files are then compatible with all mbox\-compatible email clients\&.
|
|
68
|
16
|
69 .TP
|
19
|
70 \-S
|
|
71 Output messages into seperate files\&. This will create folders as named in the PST file, and will put each email in its own file\&. These files will be numbered from 000000000 increasing in intervals of 1 (ie 000000000, 000000001, 0000000002)\&. Any attachments are saved alongside each email as 000000000\-attach0, or with the name of the attachment if one is present\&.

|
77 .TP
|

|
78 \-w
|
|
79 Overwrite any previous output files\&. Beware: When used with the \-S switch, this will remove all files from the target folder before writing\&. This is to keep the count of emails and attachments correct\&.
