Support #480
Updated by Daniel Curtis about 10 years ago
While setting up a new mail server, I had one workstation with outlook that would not login to the new mail server. After many hours of no progress, I exported the account I needed to migrate to a PST file and copied it over to my Arch Linux computer. I proceeded with the following steps to convert and upload * Install libpst <pre> sudo pacman -S libpst </pre> * Create a working directory and copy the PST: <pre> mkdir ~/email_temp cp email_account.pst ~/email_temp </pre> * Convert PST to Mbox <pre> readpst email_account.pst </pre> The Outlook file will be converted into a series of mbox files. *NOTE*: The next program requires python2, make sure to install it: <pre> sudo pacman -S python2 </pre> * Download imap-upload from the following URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/imap-upload/files/imap-upload/1.2/imap-upload-1.2.zip/download * Copy @imap_upload.py@ to the working directory: <pre> cp ~/Downloads/imap_upload.py ~/email_temp </pre> * Upload the Mbox files to the IMAP server: <pre> python2 imap_upload.py Inbox imaps://bob:Password@mail.example.com/Inbox python2 python imap_upload.py Sent imaps://bob:Password@mail.example.com/Sent </pre> h2.
