Forensic Mail Archiver (FMACL) extracts Outlook email, notes,
tasks, contacts, calendar and journal entries from one or more Outlook
PST files. Extracted items are saved as Outlook MSG or RFC822 compliant
EML files. All attachments are maintained within each MSG or RFC822 message.
The PST folder structure is duplicated on the local file system. The
generated messages are ready for use with an indexing tool such as dtSearch®,
to burn to CD/DVD media, or for other uses such as data for email
archiving products.
FMACL is a deceptively simple to operate, yet decidely powerful utility to "rip"
(archive, unbundle) PST files into their component parts. It is compatible
with Unicode PSTs, which means that it fully supports foreign language
character sets (The conversion machine's operating system should have the
appropriate MicroSoft foreign language packs installed to support PSTs of a
particular foreign language).
Email archive appliance users find it handy to transform legacy PST files into
.EML or .MSG messages for processing by their appliances. Transforming PST
files into .EML files is a quick way to migrate data from Outlook to Outlook
Express, Windows Vista Mail, etc.. Utilities are available to further process .EML
files into MBOX files, which allow you to port mail to MBOX compatible clients
(e.g. Thunderbird, Linux, MAC, etc.).
No PST preparation is required. The user simply types a command line string to
begin the conversion. All PST files located in subdirectories below the
specified input directory are located recursively. Prerequisites are an
Outlook 2003/2007 client and Windows XP or Vista.
File Naming options:
1 = Index + EntryID.
2 = Index + Subject.
3 = Index + Sender.
4 = Index + EntryID + Subject + Sender
5 = Index + Subject + Sender + EntryID
6 = Index + Sender + Subject + EntryID
7 = Index + CreationTime + Sender + Subject
Report Only or Write modes:
Create .MSG/.EML files or just scan PSTs to generate a report of the
folders/files contained within each PST. Report Only mode is a useful method to
identify large PSTs files that you may not want/need to process.
