|
23 .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
24 This manual page documents briefly the
|
|
|
25 .B readpst
|
|
|
26 command.
|
|
|
27 .PP
|

|
29 .\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,

|
|
|
31 \fBreadpst\fP is a program that can read an Outlook PST (Personal Folders) file
|
|
|
32 and convert it into an mbox file, a format suitable for KMail, a recursive mbox
|
|
|
33 structure, or seperate emails.
|
|
|
34 .SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
35 A summary of options is included below.
|
|
|
36 .TP
|
|
|
37 .B \-c
|
|
|
38 Set the Contact output mode. Use -cv for vcard format or -cl for
|
|
|
39 an email list
|
|
|
40 .TP
|
|
|
41 .B \-d
|
|
|
42 Specify name of debug log file. Defaults to "readpst.log". The log
|
|
|
43 file isn\'t an ascii file, it is a binary file readable by \fBreadpstlog\fP.
|
|
|
44 .TP
|
|
|
45 .B \-h
|
|
|
46 Show summary of options. Subsequent options are then ignored.
|
|
|
47 .TP
|
|
|
48 .B \-k
|
|
|
49 Changes the output format to KMail.
|
|
|
50 .TP
|
|
|
51 .B \-o
|
|
|
52 Specifies the output directory. The directory must already exist, and
|
|
|
53 is entered after the PST file is opened, but before any processing of
|
|
|
54 files commences.
|
|
|
55 .TP
|
|
|
56 .B \-q
|
|
|

58 for error messages.
|
|
|
59 .TP
|
|
|
60 .B \-r
|
|
|
61 Changes the output format to Recursive. This will create folders as
|
|
|
62 named in the PST file, and will put all emails in a file called "mbox"
|
|
|
63 inside each folder. These files are then compatible with all
|
|
|
64 mbox\-compatible email clients.
|
|
|
65 .TP
|
|
|
66 .B \-S
|
|
|
67 Output messages into seperate files. This will create folders as
|
|
|
68 named in the PST file, and will put each email in its own file. These
|
|
|
69 files will be numbered from 000000000 increasing in intervals of 1 (ie
|
|
|
70 000000000, 000000001, 0000000002). Any attachments are saved alongside
|
|
|
71 each email as 000000000\-attach0, or with the name of the attachment if
|
|
|
72 one is present.
|
|
|
73 .TP
|
|
|
74 .B \-V
|
|
|
75 Show version of program. Subsequent options are then ignored.
|
|
|
76 .TP
|
|
|
77 .B \-w
|
|
|
78 Overwrite any previous output files. \fBBeware\fP: When used with the \-S
|
|
|
79 switch, this will remove all files from the target folder before
|
|
|
80 writing. This is to keep the count of emails and attachments correct.
