I realize that most if not 99.9% of the users here are Linux users for Evo, and while I am a Linux user, others in my office are not, and I am trying to get away from ms products as much as possible. What is the status on the PST import for the Win compiled version at DIP Consultants? I have the V2.24.x from their site installed and a few of my users I would love to convert from that o program to Evo, but I need a way to get all their mail, contacts, folders etc. moved. I am talking years worth of mail, so they are not going to move if it means loosing one single message or contact, as they will have something happen and want to whip out some email from 2001! What is the status of this plugin for win compiled versions from DIP Consultants? ? Is there a way to add it to the version I have installed already? ? ?

Of course, I am not sure the plugin works with them (I cannot test, since I have no .pst files to play with). But I *did* build Evo trunk with it, and the plugin was compiled in. Now, if I select File/Import, I do not see any option for an Outlook PST file; If I select Edit/Plugins, the plugin is shown enabled. I do not know if this is is the correct behaviour or not. Some observations on the Ubuntu package(s): 0. Bharath's additional patch is also built in (via ./debian/patches/10-current-attach.patch). I had to rebase it to 0.6.25. 1. I had to radically change the debianisation provided by upstream. I am not sure what upstream intended, but their debianisation simply does not work, and they do not provide clean sources (i.e., without debianisation). So the current source package is, huh, sort of tainted with my changes to the ./debian directory contents. But the original upstream source is still provided. 2. I split the binary packages in readpst (the command-line utilities), libpst (the shared library), and libpst-dev (the development files). All binaries have debugging symbols enabled by default. the libpst package is needed for Evolution run-time; the libpst-dev for building Evolution (actually, the plugin), and it is not needed for run-time; the readpst packages provide the same as older libpst releases (just the command-line utilities). Later on I will split the debugging symbols to standard Debian -dbg packages. 3. They are available on my personal package space on Ubuntu (https://launchpad.net/~hggdh2/+archive). The source and binaries packages can be downloaded from there, for i386, AMD64, and lpia. 4. If someone actually uses them, I would like to have feedback. There are certainly still some cleanup to be done for the packages. 5. No, I did not build Evo trunk in my PPA, and I do not intend to.

I am not sure about libpst trunk, though, did not look at it. I am building a libpst package for Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04), and will see what happens.

What are the > versions supported by this Importer? Yes, libpst 0.5.3 just worked with the older formats. We have introduced support for the new version (2003 and 2007) since 0.6.1 So yes the Evolution importer would work well with the new formats of version 2003,2007.

If you have libpst (and its -devel counterpart) when compiling Evolution, the plugin would get built automatically*. It will not be an "external dependency" for Evolution. -Suman * This automagic can be removed and an appropriate configure option can be added very easily. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] PST import plugin for Evolution added
Good job! The last time when i tried libpst 0.5.3, i encountered problem that it reads only pst file created by Outlook before version 2003. What are the versions supported by this Importer?
