Pst to eml linux

TimRepke / README.md

This script extracts all emails from an Outlook PST archive and saves them into some output folder as individual RFC822 compliant *.eml files.

Installing the external dependency pypff may not be straight forward (it wasn’t for me). I forked the original repository to make it work in Python 3. If you get errors, check their wiki pages for help or try my fork. Below are the steps that worked for me:

cd libpff/ ./synclibs.sh ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-python make sudo make install python setup.py build sudo python setup.py install

Now that everything is installed, you can execute the script as follows: python pst2eml.py /path/to/archive.pst /path/to/output/dir

Optionally, you can write the log into a file by adding —logfile=/path/to/log_dir to the command.

Full disclaimer: I was inspired by this script, but as you may see, I pretty much threw everything overboard and made my own thing. Only kept the logging and argparse really.

Working with PST files in Linux

I recently started working with PST files in linux — building a searchable mailbox archive from old PST files backed up from various mailboxes. In this project you will find scripts which i’ve used to help speed up some of the tasks needed to convert the PST files into easy use data.

First of all, you will need to install the following:

libpst4;xxxxx — xxxxx will be i386 or amd64 pst-utils readpst

On debian systems they can be installed like so:

sudo apt install libpst4:xxxxx pst-utils reaspst

if you are unsure which are available, you can do:

apt search libpst4 and so on to see if they are available in your repo’s.

This cycles through all your .pst files, and will convert each email to a .eml file in it’s respective directory. You may end up with a structure like this:

export/Archive/Inbox/*.eml
export/Archive/Folder 1/*.eml
export/Archive/Sent Items/*.eml
export/Archive/Deleted Items/*.eml

Use the script as following:

This script renames your eml files in all the various directories to have a unique name by renaming it to it’s md5 hash value. when it finds an eml file, it does md5sum on the file, then renames the file to hash.eml

This will be useful later when we want to de-duplicate any emails before we add them into a database.

If you have any suggestions, improvements or any kind of questions about the scripts, please feel free to reach out to me here. I will be adding more scripts as I build them.
