fac01758bd41 Initial revision

297 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to

318 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded

398 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from
3
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

399 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
400 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

401 to use the libpst interface.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
402
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

diff changeset
403 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
404 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

429 A lot of bug fixing has been done for this release. Testing has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
430 done on the creation of the files by readpst. Better handling of
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
431 large binaries being extracted from the PST file has been implemented.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

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

436 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
437
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
438 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal

carl
parents:
diff changeset
461 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
462 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
463 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
464 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
465 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
466 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
467 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
468
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
469 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
470 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
471 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
472 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
473 duplicate names!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
474
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
475 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
476 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
477 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware!

512 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that

513 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

535 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

545 Hi Folks!

carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

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

555 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts.

557 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
558 the following manner
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
559
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
560 ./main {path to PST file}

561
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
562 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
563 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
564 will never be converted to Linux.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
565
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
566 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
567 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
568 converting PST files into a variety of formats.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
569
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
570 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
571 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
572 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
573 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
574 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
575 and then convert the unencrypted one.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
