+* 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).

-* ldif-to-xml.py
+* kmail2sylpheed.pl
WHAT IT DOES
- This python script converts the netscape ldif format address book to
- the sylpheed xml format.
+ 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.
HOW TO USE IT
- Inside Netscape export your address book to a file.
- From the command line, execute:
+ (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
- ./ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+ In Kmail's Addressbook choose '/File/Export List'. This will export
+ your Kmail addressbook data to a *.csv file.
- In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:
+ If Sylpheed is running, close it.
- python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+ From the command line, execute the following:
+
+ perl kmail2sylpheed.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
- 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.
+ Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
+ addressbook, under the name 'Kmail Address Book'.
