215 It is with GREAT relief that I bring you version 0.5 of the LibPST tools!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
216
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
217 Through great difficulties, this tool has survived and expanded to become even
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
218 better.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
219
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
220 The changes are as follows:
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
221 * RTF support. We can now decompress RTF bodies in emails, and are saved as attachments
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
222 * Better support in reading the indexes. Fixed many bugs with them
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
223 * Improved reliability. "Now we are getting somewhere!"
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
224 * Improved compiling. Hopefully we won't be hitting too many compile errors now.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
225 * vCard handling. Contacts are now exported as vCard entries.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
226 * vEvent handling. Support has begun on exporting Calendar entries as events
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
227 * Support for Journal entries has also begun

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

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

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

251 The debug system has had an overhaul. The debug messages are no longer
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
252 printed to the screen when they are enabled. They are dumped to a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
253 binary file. There is another utility called "readlog" that I have
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
254 written to handle these log files. It should make it easier to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
255 selectively view bits of a log file. It also shows the position that
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
256 the log message was printed from.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
257
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
258 There is a new switch in readpst. It is -d. It enables the user to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
259 specify the log file which the binary log is written to. If the switch
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
260 isn't used, the default file of "readpst.log" is used.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
261
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
262 The code is now Visual C++ compatible. It has compiled on Visual C++
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
263 .net Standard edition, and produces the readpst.exe file. Use the project
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

266 There have been minor improvements elsewhere too.

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
271
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
272 Fixed a couple more bugs. Is it me or do bugs just insert themselves
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
273 in random, hard to find places!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
275 Cured a few problems with regard to emails with multiple embeded
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
276 items. They are not fully re-created using Mime-types, but are
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
277 accessible with the -S switch (which saves everything as seperate
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

278 items)
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
279
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
280 Fixed a problem reading the first index. Back sliders are now
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
281 detected. (ie when the value following the current one is smaller, not
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

282 bigger!)
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
283
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
284 Added some error messages when we try and read outside of the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
285 file, this was causing a few problems before, cause the return value
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
286 wasn't always checked, so it was possible to be reading random data,
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
287 and trying to make sense of it!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

313 When an email has an attachment, it is saved as a seperate file. The
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

314 filename for the attachment is made up of 2 parts, the first is the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

321 More verbose error messages have been added. Apparently people got

carl

322 confused when the program stopped for no visible reason. This has now
fac01758bd41 Initial revision

fac01758bd41 Initial revision

diff changeset
355 an ID value and a pst file, will extract and decrypt that ID from
3
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
356 the pst file. I don't see it being a huge attraction, or of much use
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
357 to most people, but it is another example of writing an application
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
358 to use the libpst interface.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
359
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
360 Another fix was in the reading of the item index. This has hopefully
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
361 now been corrected. The result of this bug was that not all the emails
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl

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

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

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

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

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
394
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

395 Added support for recreating the folder structure into normal

414 Again, a shed load of enhancements. More work has been done on the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
415 mime creation. A bug has been fixed that was letting part of the

fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
418 A major enhancement is that "compressible encryption" support has been
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
419 added. This was an incredibly simple method to use. It is basically a
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
420 ceasar cipher. It has been noted by several users already that the PST
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
421 password that Outlook uses, serves *no purpose*. It is not used to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
422 encrypt the PST, it is mearly stored there. This means that the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
423 readpst application is able to convert PST files without knowing the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
424 password. Microsoft have some explaning to do!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
425
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
426 Output files are now not overwritten if they already exist. This means
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
427 that if you have two folders in your PST file named "fred", the first
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
428 one encountered will be named "fred" and the second one will be named
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
429 "fred00000001". As you can see, there is enough room there for many
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
430 duplicate names!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
431
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
432 Output filenames are now restricted. Any "/" or "\" characters in the
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
433 name are replaced with "_". If you find that there are any other
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
434 characters that need to be changed, could you please make me aware!

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

502 Hi Folks!
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
503
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
504 This has been a long, hard slog, but I now feel that I have got
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
505 somewhere useful. The included program "main" is able to read an
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
506 Outlook PST file and dump the emails into mbox files, separating each
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
507 folder into a different mbox file. All the mbox files are stored in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
508 the current directory and no attempt is yet made to organise these
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
509 files into a directory hierarchy. This would not be too difficult to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
510 achieve though.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
511
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:

512 Email attachments are not yet handled, neither are Contacts.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
513
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
514 There is no pretty interface yet, but you can convert a PST file in
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
515 the following manner
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
516
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
517 ./main {path to PST file}
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
518
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
519 This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I should release
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
520 this code so that people can lose their conception that outlook files
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
521 will never be converted to Linux.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
522
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
523 I am intending that the code I am writing will be developed into
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
524 greater applications to provide USEFUL tools for accessing and
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
525 converting PST files into a variety of formats.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
526
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
527 One point I feel I should make is that Outlook, by default, creates
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
528 "Compressible Encryption" PST files. I have not, as yet, attempted to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
529 write any decryption routines, so you will not be able to convert
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
530 these files. However, if you create a new PST file and choose not to
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
531 make an encrypted one, you can copy all your emails into this new one
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
532 and then convert the unencrypted one.
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
533
fac01758bd41 Initial revision
carl
parents:
diff changeset
534 I hope you enjoy,
