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. If your version of Kmail is 1.37 or greater
116 and/or your version of KAddressBook is 3.1beta1 or greater, or
117 this script mixes up your definitions and their related data, use
118 'kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl' instead.
122 (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
124 In Kmail's Addressbook choose '/File/Export List'. This will export
125 your Kmail addressbook data to a *.csv file.
127 If Sylpheed is running, close it.
129 From the command line, execute the following:
131 perl kmail2sylpheed.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
133 Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
134 addressbook, under the name 'Kmail Address Book'.

140 * kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl
142 This script has been tested with Kmail 1.47 and KAddressBook 3.1beta1
146 This perl script will convert a Kmail addressbook that has been
147 exported in csv format into a Sylpheed addressbook.
151 (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
153 Open Kmail's Addressbook, /File/Address Book
154 In Kmail's Addressbook choose '/File/Export/Export List...'. This
155 will allow you to export your Kmail addressbook data to a *.csv file.
157 If Sylpheed is running, close it.
159 From the command line, execute the following:
161 perl kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
163 You can also use --help to see usage instructions.
165 Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
166 addressbook, under the name 'Kmail address book'.

174 WHAT IT DOES AND WHY IT DOES IT
176 This perl script cleans up in '$HOME/.sylpheed/newscache'. Currently
177 the newscache becomes littered with old directories and files - when
178 you subscribe to a newsgroup a sub-directory gets created for it in
179 ~/.sylpheed/newscache/[nntpserver], should you unsubscribe from the
180 group the sub-directory does not get deleted. Until this is done
181 internally this script will take care of some tidying up.
183 This script removes directory trees of nntp servers that you no longer
184 have an account for. Where an account exists it removes directories
185 and files of those groups to which you are no longer subscribed.
189 Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
191 perl newscache_clean.pl
193 This script uses the File::Path module, if you don't already have it
194 installed, you can find it at the CPAN search site <http://search.cpan.org>

204 This perl script enables OpenOffice.org to send documents to sylpheed
209 Edit line 29 of the script so that it contains the correct path:
210 exec "/usr/local/bin/sylpheed --attach $ARGV";
212 Start up OpenOffice.org.
213 Go to 'Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/External Programs'
214 Enter the path to this script in the 'Program' box
215 or select it by clicking on the '...' button.
217 You can then use 'File/Send/Document as email' to launch sylpheed
218 (if not already launched) and open a new compose window with the
221 Tested with OpenOffice.org version 1.0

226 * outlook2sylpheed.pl
230 This perl script converts an Outlook generated contact list into a
231 Sylpheed XML address book.
235 You must export Outlook Express contact list as TXT file, choosing
236 only "Name" and "Address" fields to export.
238 You must exit Sylpheed before converting the contact list.
240 From the command line, execute the following:
242 outlook2sylpheed.pl fullpathname
246 Only works with fields described above. If you have more complex
247 examples send them to me, and I'll try to enhance the script.

258 This perl script is for users who like to move between the main
259 sylpheed branch and the claws branch. Because of some differences
260 between the stored options it is better IMO to use two separate
261 '.sylpheed' directory trees. Doing that manually could prove to
262 be tiresome, and so I've written this script to automate the task.
264 The first time you run this script you enter the full paths,
265 including the executable itself, to both the main version of
266 sylpheed and the claws version. This information is then stored
267 in a file in your $HOME directory called '.sylpheed-switcher'
269 During this initial set-up, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
270 is copied to '~/.sylpheed-main' and '~/.sylpheed-claws'.
272 When you run sylpheed via this script, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
273 is deleted and replaced with a symbolic link to either ~/.sylpheed-main'
274 or '~/sylpheed-claws', depending on the option you choose.
275 (On subsequent usage the symbolic link is deleted and replaced with
276 a new symbolic link).
281 Enter the full paths to the executable, including the executable itself,
284 ./sylpheed-switcher --claws-path=/usr/local/bin/sylpheed --main-path=
287 After the initial set-up, use the following:
289 ./sylpheed-switcher --claws (to run sylpheed-claws)
290 ./sylpheed-switcher --main (to run sylpheed main)
292 Additionally you can append --debug to run in debug mode.
293 Use --help for more info.
295 This script uses the File::Path and Getopt::Long modules, if you don't already
296 have them installed, you can find them at the CPAN search site
297 <http://search.cpan.org>

307 This perl script will convert an addressbook exported from The Bat! into
308 a Sylpheed addressbook.
312 (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
314 If Sylpheed is running, close it.
316 Export The Bat! Address Book to CSV file format with all fields
317 selected to YES and then start:
319 tb2sylpheed --tbfile=/full/path/to/thebat/addressbook.csv
321 The Bat! addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
322 addressbook, under the name 'The Bat! Address Book'.

331 This script is a message catalog translator's tool, it updates the .po
332 files named on the command line.
336 This script needs to be copied to and run from the 'po' directory.
338 ./update-po lang.po lang2.po ...
340 to update one or more <yourlang>.po files from the sourcecode files
341 named in POTFILES.in. The old .po file is save in a .po.old file.
