5 This perl script imports mbox files that are exported by Calypso.
6 It recreates the folder structure by scanning the "X-CalypsoFolder"
7 header and reincludes the attachments referenced in the
8 "X-CalypsoHtmlBody" "X-CalypsoAccount" "X-Attachment" headers.
12 Export the Calypso mailbox by selecting "Save to archive" and check
13 the "Save attachments" box.
14 Edit the script to set following variables (at the top of the file):
15 $mboxdir : path to the exported mbox, e.g. 'Archive' or '.'
16 $mboxfile : name of exported mbox, e.g. 'mail.txt'
17 $outdir : name of the MH folder to create, e.g. 'Calypso'
19 perl calypso_convert.pl
20 Finally, import that folder by either selecting "New mailbox" or
21 moving it into your existing directory and recreate the folder
22 structure manually (contentmenu from folderview).

32 This python-script is a quick hack to convert an Eudora (v.3?) addressbook
33 to vCard (GnomeCard) format.
37 You may do whatever you want with it! (Also regarding copying)
39 However, the script is intended to use like this:
41 eud2gc.py <Eudora-addressbook-file> <Gnomecard-file>
43 Be careful not to overwrite your original GnomeCard.gcrd!
44 (But of course you might want to add the converted stuff to it)

55 This perl script provides easy conversion of your filtering rules
56 form sylpheed's old filter system to the new filtering system used
57 in sylpheed-claws. It reads '~/.sylpheed/filterrc' and outputs
58 '~/.sylpheed/matcherrc'.
62 Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
66 That's it, the new filtering system is now implemented with your
67 previous rules applied.

77 This perl script converts a monochrome (1 bit) 48x48 pixels GIF file
78 into an X-Face graphic suitable for inclusion into custom headers of
79 Sylpheed. An X-Face allows to quickly identify (or be identified as)
80 the sender of a mail message in a xface-capable MUA (like sylpheed).
84 After obtaining the desired image for your X-Face you should:
85 * scale it to 48x48 pixels (Image->Scale image on Gimp)
86 * down color depth to b/w (Image->Mode->Indexed selecting "Use
87 Black/White palette" and the desired dithering options (prior to
88 indexing doing Image->Colors->Threshold allows you to select the
89 b/w level if you don't want a dithered (dotty) image))
90 * save file as non-interlaced GIF
93 ./gif2xface < filename.gif > filename.xface
95 In filename.xface will be the X-Face header ready to use.
96 You can add a custom header in Sylpheed through Configuration->
97 Preferences per account, "Send" tab, check "Add user-defined header"
98 then "Edit..." if you want to add it via Sylpheed interface, or do
100 echo "0:" `cat filename.xface` > ~/.sylpheed/customheaderrc
102 if you want to create the custom headers file yourself (Warning: this
103 method is valid only if you don't have any other custom header set or

114 This perl script will convert an exported Kmail addressbook into a
115 Sylpheed addressbook.
119 (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
121 In Kmail's Addressbook choose '/File/Export List'. This will export
122 your Kmail addressbook data to a *.csv file.
124 If Sylpheed is running, close it.
126 From the command line, execute the following:
128 perl kmail2sylpheed.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
130 Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
131 addressbook, under the name 'Kmail Address Book'.

139 WHAT IT DOES AND WHY IT DOES IT
141 This perl script cleans up in '$HOME/.sylpheed/newscache'. Currently
142 the newscache becomes littered with old directories and files - when
143 you subscribe to a newsgroup a sub-directory gets created for it in
144 ~/.sylpheed/newscache/[nntpserver], should you unsubscribe from the
145 group the sub-directory does not get deleted. Until this is done
146 internally this script will take care of some tidying up.
148 This script removes directory trees of nntp servers that you no longer
149 have an account for. Where an account exists it removes directories
150 and files of those groups to which you are no longer subscribed.
154 Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
156 perl newscache_clean.pl
158 This script uses the File::Path module, if you don't already have it
159 installed, you can find it at the CPAN search site <http://search.cpan.org>

169 This perl script enables OpenOffice.org to send documents to sylpheed
174 Start up OpenOffice.org.
175 Go to 'Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/External Programs'
176 Enter the path to this script in the 'Program' box
177 or select it by clicking on the '...' button.
179 You can then use 'File/Send/Document as email' to launch sylpheed
180 (if not already launched) and open a new compose window with the
183 Tested with OpenOffice.org version 1.0

188 * outlook2sylpheed.pl
192 This perl script converts an Outlook generated contact list into a
193 Sylpheed XML address book.
197 You must export Outlook Express contact list as TXT file, choosing
198 only "Name" and "Address" fields to export.
200 You must exit Sylpheed before converting the contact list.
202 From the command line, execute the following:
204 outlook2sylpheed.pl fullpathname
208 Only works with fields described above. If you have more complex
209 examples send them to me, and I'll try to enhance the script.

220 This perl script is for users who like to move between the main
221 sylpheed branch and the claws branch. Because of some differences
222 between the stored options it is better IMO to use two separate
223 '.sylpheed' directory trees. Doing that manually could prove to
224 be tiresome, and so I've written this script to automate the task.
226 The first time you run this script you enter the full paths,
227 including the executable itself, to both the main version of
228 sylpheed and the claws version. This information is then stored
229 in a file in your $HOME directory called '.sylpheed-switcher'
231 During this initial set-up, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
232 is copied to '~/.sylpheed-main' and '~/.sylpheed-claws'.
234 When you run sylpheed via this script, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
235 is deleted and replaced with a symbolic link to either ~/.sylpheed-main'
236 or '~/sylpheed-claws', depending on the option you choose.
237 (On subsequent usage the symbolic link is deleted and replaced with
238 a new symbolic link).
243 Enter the full paths to the executable, including the executable itself,
246 ./sylpheed-switcher --claws-path=/usr/local/bin/sylpheed --main-path=
249 After the initial set-up, use the following:
251 ./sylpheed-switcher --claws (to run sylpheed-claws)
252 ./sylpheed-switcher --main (to run sylpheed main)
254 Additionally you can append --debug to run in debug mode.
255 Use --help for more info.
257 This script uses the File::Path and Getopt::Long modules, if you don't already
258 have them installed, you can find them at the CPAN search site
259 <http://search.cpan.org>

269 This perl script will convert an addressbook exported from The Bat! into
270 a Sylpheed addressbook.
274 (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
276 If Sylpheed is running, close it.
278 Export The Bat! Address Book to CSV file format with all fields
279 selected to YES and then start:
281 tb2sylpheed --tbfile=/full/path/to/thebat/addressbook.csv
283 The Bat! addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
284 addressbook, under the name 'The Bat! Address Book'.

293 This script is a message catalog translator's tool, it updates the .po
294 files named on the command line.
298 This script needs to be copied to and run from the 'po' directory.
300 ./update-po lang.po lang2.po ...
302 to update one or more <yourlang>.po files from the sourcecode files
303 named in POTFILES.in. The old .po file is save in a .po.old file.
