The mail is easy: create a local imap server, and export all old mail to it from the virtual machine. Then import all that mail it TB, or just leave it there. The addresses... dunno.
My problem is that I have not been able to find a way to make PM mail EXPORT anything. It has an import function from Outlook but no export function I can find.
It's not really exporting, is moving or copying mail from a folder to another folder - the trick is that the destination folder is an imap folder, and thus, can be read by many programs. This is the best trick for "exporting" mail if there is no "export" feature, provided the mail client can use imap folders, of course: not all can. It doesn't handle addresbooks, unfortunately.
I have found that KMail can read the raw messages but NONE of the organization (folders, subfolders, etc) and only 1 message at a time as each message is a separate file and all of the messages and folders and sub folders are separate directories in PM Mail.
The procedure I said will maintain the structure, but you have to create the folders first, and copy a single folder at a time - provided the mail client can copy hundreds of mails in one op, of course.
Now, what does this have to do with CALLER ID you ask :) ... that is my other problem....every time anyone calls, she MANUALLY records the name and number and time in her computer by hand by transcribing from her phone caller-id log. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!!!!! I just can't find it for SuSE. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, so a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.
Hum!
Hylafax can record in the log the caller ID, but it is not clean: it records many thing more. However, the info can be extracted from there. I played a bit with that some time ago, I suppose I can dig out the info again. If she wants to use the fax too, then it wouldn't be much of a problem to do it this way.
I don't know if there is a simple app that simply logs the caller ID, which is what you really need.
Does Hylafax use a modem interface of some kind? If so, I am familiar with the concept but it has been a long time since I have used a modem with Linux and am not sure which modems are on the market that would have compatibility with the software you are suggesting.
A modem interface? I don't follow. Hylafax is a daemon, with some utilities and script, and third party clients (even for windows). It is a fax server software and very good at that, but a "trifle" complex. In any case, yes, you need a modem, of course, one with caller ID capability. Hylafax supports many modem, but the best type are external via classic serial port, with usb types as a second possibility; not all work, I'm afraid. You might have to do some testing. Using it for just the caller id is certainly an overkill, short of killing flies with an elephant riffle. But I did it once, because I use the fax anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Welcome! But I see some else has mentioned another simpler possibility. If that turns out I'd like to hear of the outcome. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
