247 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools!

carl
parents:

248
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

249 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even

250 better.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

251
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

252 The changes are as follows:
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

253 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
254 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
255 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!"
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
256 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
257 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

258 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events

283 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
284 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
285 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
286 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
287 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
288 the log message was printed from.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
289
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
290 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
291 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
292 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
293
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
294 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

diff changeset
387 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from
3
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
388 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
389 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

390 to use the libpst interface.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
391
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
392 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
393 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

402 Quick bugfix release. There was a bug in the decryption of the basic
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

403 encryption that outlook uses. One byte, 0x6c, was incorrectly decrypted
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

418 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
419 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

carl
parents:
diff changeset
422 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
423 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
424 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
426
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

427 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal

carl
parents:
diff changeset
450 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
451 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
452 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
453 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
454 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
455 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
456 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
457
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
458 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
459 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
460 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
461 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
462 duplicate names!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
463
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
464 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
465 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
466 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware!

534 Hi Folks!

536 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
537 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
538 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
539 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
540 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
541 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
542 achieve though.

546 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
547 the following manner
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
548
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
549 ./main {path to PST file}

551 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
552 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
553 will never be converted to Linux.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
554
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
555 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
556 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
557 converting PST files into a variety of formats.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

559 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
560 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
561 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
562 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
563 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
564 and then convert the unencrypted one.
