Cf. https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32422 This would be a bigger enhancement compared to just a simple fix of the bad output (which has been done to fix that bug). Carl from the upstream has told me that he has just implemented this feature. (But I don't have a testcase I could send him. Probably, I could just test his code with our private example.) libpst-0.6.67-alt4 -> sisyphus: * Fri Aug 26 2016 Ivan Zakharyaschev <imz@altlinux> 0.6.67-alt4 - all items are saved in folders with mixed items (thx Carl Byington, RH#1369499) (ALT#32425). - python-module-libpst packaged. - libpst-docs: include the .pdf with old reverse-engeneered documentation. |
libpst-tools-0.6.67-alt1 I see a way to enhance readpst -r more globally (with a more serious re-write; not urgently needed): Some folders contain items of different several types. I've run readpst -e, and see that in this specific case the first item parsed is probably not an email, whereas the folder type is probably undefined, therefore it is created as mbox, but then the type gets overridden, and calendar items are saved there: $ ls readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Recoverable\ Items/Calendar\ Logging/ | head 1.ics 10.ics 100.eml 101.ics 102.eml 103.ics 104.eml 105.ics 106.ics 107.eml $ This is not nice: naming something "mbox", but not saving well-formed emails there. I believe this specific issue requires a fix. Globally, I'm thinking about a solution where readpst -r would create several files in the same folder (mbox, calendar) for such cases. This would allow to save everything and not mess things up. (Other modes except for readpst -r are not very attractive for me, because they do no create mbox--the only output format understood completely by dovecot, and hence, doveadm sync (for reading and importing whole user's accounts). MH is not supported by dovecot.) Here one can see all the folders with different types of items: $ find readpst/root.extensions/ -type d -print -exec sh -c 'ls "{}" | fgrep . | cut -d. --fields=2 | sort -u' ';' readpst/root.extensions/ readpst/root.extensions/mailtst readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Заметки readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/МСЭД eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Входящие eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Входящие/103 eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Входящие/Миграция ADEX eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Входящие/Оперативка eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Входящие/СПО - ФСТЭК eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Входящие/СУТП eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Входящие/Схемы ЛВС eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Нежелательная почта readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/ТТ на согласование eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Junk eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Задачи readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Прочитать и дать ответ! eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Прочитать и дать ответ!/Что-то важное eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Отправленные eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/aрхив eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Контакты vcf readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Контакты/Recipient Cache vcf readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Черновики readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Календарь ics readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Sent eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Удаленные eml ics readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/ЕКП eml readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Recoverable Items readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Recoverable Items/Deletions eml ics readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Recoverable Items/Calendar Logging eml ics readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Предлагаемые контакты vcf readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Ошибки синхронизации readpst/root.extensions/mailtst/Ошибки синхронизации/Конфликты eml $ So, the problematic folders are not normal ones: * Удаленные (means "Deleted" in Russian) * Recoverable Items/Deletions * Recoverable Items/Calendar Logging
