NAME
       readpst	- convert PST (MS Outlook Personal Folders) files to mbox for‐
       mat

SYNOPSIS
       readpst [options] files...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the readpst command.

       readpst is a program that can read an Outlook  PST  (Personal  Folders)
       file  and  convert it into an mbox file, a format suitable for KMail, a
       recursive mbox structure, or seperate emails.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below.

       -b     Do not save the attachments for the  RTF	format	of  the	 email
	      body.

       -c[lv] Set the Contact output mode. Use -cv for vcard format or -cl for
	      an email list.

       -d     Specify name of debug log file. Defaults to  "readpst.log".  The
	      log  file	 isn´t	an ascii file, it is a binary file readable by
	      readpstlog.

       -h     Show summary of options and exit.

       -k     Changes the output format to KMail.

       -o     Specifies the  output  directory.	 The  directory	 must  already
	      exist,  and  is entered after the PST file is opened, but before
	      any processing of files commences.

       -q     Changes to silent mode. No feedback is printed  to  the  screen,
	      except for error messages.

       -r     Changes the output format to Recursive. This will create folders
	      as named in the PST file, and will put  all  emails  in  a  file
	      called  "mbox" inside each folder. These files are then compati‐
	      ble with all mbox-compatible email clients.

       -S     Output messages into seperate files. This will create folders as
	      named  in the PST file, and will put each email in its own file.
	      These files will be numbered from 000000000 increasing in inter‐
	      vals of 1 (ie 000000000, 000000001, 0000000002). Any attachments
	      are saved alongside each email as 000000000-attach0, or with the
	      name of the attachment if one is present.

       -V     Show version of program and exit.

       -w     Overwrite	 any previous output files. Beware: When used with the
	      -S switch, this will remove all files  from  the	target	folder
	      before  writing. This is to keep the count of emails and attach‐
	      ments correct.
