174 These changes come to you, as always, free under the GPL license!! What a wonderful
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
175 thing it is. It does mean that you can write your own program off of this library
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

diff changeset
176 and distribute it also for free. However, anyone with commercial interests for
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

177 developing applications they will be charging for are encouraged to get in touch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

194 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
195 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
196 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
197 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
198 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
199 the log message was printed from.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
200
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
201 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
202 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
203 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
204
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

205 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++

214
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
215 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

216 in random, hard to find places!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
217
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
218 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
219 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

220 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
222
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
223 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
224 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

225 bigger!)
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
226
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
227 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST

carl
parents:
diff changeset
228 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
229 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data,
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
230 and trying to make sense of it!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

256 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
257 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

carl
parents:
diff changeset

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

diff changeset
264 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
265 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

276 Several more fixes. An Infinite loop and incorrect interpreting of
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
277 item index attributes. Work has started on making the code executable
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

278 on big endian CPUs. At present it should work with Linux on these
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
279 CPUs, but I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback with
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

280 regard to it's performance. I am also working with some other people
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
296
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

297 I have added a new program, mainly of debugging, which when passed
11

diff changeset
298 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from
3
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
299 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
300 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
301 to use the libpst interface.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
302
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
303 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
304 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

305 in a folder were converted. Hopefully you should have more luck now.

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

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

321 Minor improvements. Fixed bug when linking multiple blocks together,
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

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

carl
parents:
diff changeset
333 Quite a few reports have come in about not being able to compile on
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
334 Darwin. This could be down to using macros with variable parameter
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
335 lists. This has now been changed to use C functions with variable
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
336 parameters. I hope this fixes a lot of problems.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
337
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
338 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal

carl

diff changeset
361 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
362 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
363 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
364 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
365 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
366 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
367 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
368
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
369 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
370 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
371 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
372 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
373 duplicate names!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
374
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
375 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
376 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
377 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware!

393 Attachments are now re-created in mime format. The method is very
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
394 crude and could be prone to over generalisation. Please test this
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

395 version, and if attachments are not recreated correctly, please send
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

396 me the email (complete message source) of the original and
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

412 Some improvements. The internal code has been changed so that
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
413 attachments are now processed and loaded into the structures. The
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
414 readpst program is not finished yet. It needs to convert these binary
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
415 structs into mime data. At present it just saves them to the current
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
416 directory, overwriting any previous files with the attachment name.

434 If you want to view lots of debug output, modify a line in "define.h"

435 from "//#define DEBUG_ALL" to "#define DEBUG_ALL". It would then be
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

436 advisable to pipe all output to a log file:

445 Hi Folks!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
446
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
447 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
448 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
449 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
450 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
451 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
452 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
453 achieve though.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

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

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

457 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
458 the following manner
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
459
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
460 ./main {path to PST file}
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
461
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
462 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
463 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
464 will never be converted to Linux.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
465
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
466 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
467 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
468 converting PST files into a variety of formats.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
469
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
470 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
471 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
472 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
473 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
474 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
475 and then convert the unencrypted one.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
476
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
477 I hope you enjoy,
