Обсуждение: [admin] is there app to catalog email oe6
Hi I am hoping posgresql will get more widely used. I have an idea for an application. Consider , after spending months collecting email with information for research there becomes the need to catalog it and store it efficiently. A lot of it is scientific and engineering related. Is there an open source project to pull the outlook express email and catalog it into postgresql. and if not is there any interest in starting a project.

I'm not sure this is the most appropriate list for such a discussion. pgsql-admin is for discussions related to adminstering PostgreSQL. If you want to pursue such a project, you'd probably be well served by looking at the various tools that will convert Outlook's .pst files to standard *nix mbox files. From there, you're just parsing plain text, which any number of tools (even, like as not, some designed specifically for dumping mboxen into SQL tables) can work handily with. /rls -- :wq

No, but there is a Project on SourceForge which converts the outlook munster file to plain mboxfiles. (can be filtered at processing time) Do not ask me about the name, which I have forgotten because since more the 5 years I do not use WinXX >and if not is there any interest in starting a project. I run a postgresql database with around 5 million E-Mails from more then 210 Mailinglists. I can search fast as the heaven :-) No need to ask every time the Lists for Help :-) Greetings Michelle -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
