+* calypso_convert.pl
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+
+ This perl script imports mbox files that are exported by Calypso.
+ It recreates the folder structure by scanning the "X-CalypsoFolder"
+ header and reincludes the attachments referenced in the
+ "X-CalypsoHtmlBody" "X-CalypsoAccount" "X-Attachment" headers.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+
+ Export the Calypso mailbox by selecting "Save to archive" and check
+ the "Save attachments" box.
+ Edit the script to set following variables (at the top of the file):
+ $mboxdir : path to the exported mbox, e.g. 'Archive' or '.'
+ $mboxfile : name of exported mbox, e.g. 'mail.txt'
+ $outdir : name of the MH folder to create, e.g. 'Calypso'
+ Run the script using
+ perl calypso_convert.pl
+ Finally, import that folder by either selecting "New mailbox" or
+ moving it into your existing directory and recreate the folder
+ structure manually (contentmenu from folderview).

This perl script provides easy conversion of your filtering rules
form sylpheed's old filter system to the new filtering system used
- in sylpheed-claws. It reads 'filterrc' and outputs 'filteringrc'.

+ in sylpheed-claws. It reads '~/.sylpheed/filterrc' and outputs
+ '~/.sylpheed/matcherrc'.
+
HOW TO USE IT
- Move 'filter_conv.pl' to the $HOME/.sylpheed directory.
- From the $HOME/.sylpheed directory, issue the command:
+ Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
perl filter_conv.pl
That's it, the new filtering system is now implemented with your
previous rules applied.

-* ldif-to-xml.py
+* kmail2sylpheed.pl
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+
+ This perl script will convert an exported Kmail addressbook into a
+ Sylpheed addressbook. If your version of Kmail is 1.37 or greater
+ and/or your version of KAddressBook is 3.1beta1 or greater, or
+ this script mixes up your definitions and their related data, use
+ 'kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl' instead.

+ If Sylpheed is running, close it.
+
+ From the command line, execute the following:
+
+ perl kmail2sylpheed.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
+
+ Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
+ addressbook, under the name 'Kmail Address Book'.

+
+* newscache_clean.pl
+
+ WHAT IT DOES AND WHY IT DOES IT
+
+ This perl script cleans up in '$HOME/.sylpheed/newscache'. Currently
+ the newscache becomes littered with old directories and files - when
+ you subscribe to a newsgroup a sub-directory gets created for it in
+ ~/.sylpheed/newscache/[nntpserver], should you unsubscribe from the
+ group the sub-directory does not get deleted. Until this is done
+ internally this script will take care of some tidying up.
+
+ This script removes directory trees of nntp servers that you no longer
+ have an account for. Where an account exists it removes directories
+ and files of those groups to which you are no longer subscribed.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+
+ Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
+
+ perl newscache_clean.pl
+
+ This script uses the File::Path module, if you don't already have it
+ installed, you can find it at the CPAN search site <http://search.cpan.org>
+
+ Any questions, comments or problems, contact Paul <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk>

+
+* OOo2sylpheed.pl
WHAT IT DOES
+
+ This perl script enables OpenOffice.org to send documents to sylpheed
+ as attachments.
- This python script converts the netscape ldif format address book to
- the sylpheed xml format.
+ HOW TO USE IT
+

+ exec "/usr/local/bin/sylpheed --attach $ARGV";
+
+ Start up OpenOffice.org.
+ Go to 'Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/External Programs'
+ Enter the path to this script in the 'Program' box
+ or select it by clicking on the '...' button.
+
+ You can then use 'File/Send/Document as email' to launch sylpheed
+ (if not already launched) and open a new compose window with the
+ document attached.
+
+ Tested with OpenOffice.org version 1.0
+ Any questions, comments or problems, contact Paul <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk>

+
+* sylpheed-switcher
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+
+ This perl script is for users who like to move between the main
+ sylpheed branch and the claws branch. Because of some differences
+ between the stored options it is better IMO to use two separate
+ '.sylpheed' directory trees. Doing that manually could prove to
+ be tiresome, and so I've written this script to automate the task.
+
+ The first time you run this script you enter the full paths,
+ including the executable itself, to both the main version of
+ sylpheed and the claws version. This information is then stored
+ in a file in your $HOME directory called '.sylpheed-switcher'
+
+ During this initial set-up, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
+ is copied to '~/.sylpheed-main' and '~/.sylpheed-claws'.
+
+ When you run sylpheed via this script, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
+ is deleted and replaced with a symbolic link to either ~/.sylpheed-main'
+ or '~/sylpheed-claws', depending on the option you choose.
+ (On subsequent usage the symbolic link is deleted and replaced with
+ a new symbolic link).
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+
+ Initial set-up
+ Enter the full paths to the executable, including the executable itself,
+ example:
+
+ ./sylpheed-switcher --claws-path=/usr/local/bin/sylpheed --main-path=
+ /usr/bin/sylpheed
+
+ After the initial set-up, use the following:
+
+ ./sylpheed-switcher --claws (to run sylpheed-claws)
+ ./sylpheed-switcher --main (to run sylpheed main)
+
+ Additionally you can append --debug to run in debug mode.
+ Use --help for more info.
+
+ This script uses the File::Path and Getopt::Long modules, if you don't already
+ have them installed, you can find them at the CPAN search site
+ <http://search.cpan.org>
+
+ Any questions, comments or problems, contact Paul <claws@thewildbeast.co.uk>

+
+* tb2sylpheed
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+
+ This perl script will convert an addressbook exported from The Bat! into
+ a Sylpheed addressbook.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+
+ (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
+
+ If Sylpheed is running, close it.
+
+ Export The Bat! Address Book to CSV file format with all fields
+ selected to YES and then start:
+
+ tb2sylpheed --tbfile=/full/path/to/thebat/addressbook.csv
+
+ The Bat! addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
+ addressbook, under the name 'The Bat! Address Book'.
+
+ Any questions, comments or problems, contact Urke MMI <urke@gmx.net>

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+* update-po
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+
+ This script is a message catalog translator's tool, it updates the .po
+ files named on the command line.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
- In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:
+ This script needs to be copied to and run from the 'po' directory.
+
+ ./update-po lang.po lang2.po ...
- python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+ to update one or more <yourlang>.po files from the sourcecode files
+ named in POTFILES.in. The old .po file is save in a .po.old file.
- Either way a file called addressbook.xml will be generated in the current
- directory. This xml file should be merged with or simply placed in the
- $HOME/.sylpheed directory.
+ For example, when you want to update fr.po, run ./update-po fr.po,
+ then edit fr.po to update your translation.
- Any problems, contact Rod Senra <rodrigo.senra@ic.unicamp.br>
