[opensuse] Enterprise vault e-mail
Our company uses enterprise vault to archive old e-mails. I have been trying to access these on Linux, but have not found a solution. I use the outlook OWA interface in FireFox (sigh). When I access an archived message, FireFox offers to let me save it (an a .msg file). I have done so, thinking it may be some standard format. Seems not. Does anyone know how to access these files in FireFox? In fact, I really would like to access them as any other OWA e-mail. But that seems not how this has been done. Seems odd to me. But that's how it seems to be. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

According to EV training: Internet Explorer is required to support the full functionality available with OWA clients. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I saw that as well. But I figured it was the typical you-need-windows mantra which is often not the case. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Roger, MSG files are a MS proprietary format as far as I know. But there are lots of tools that can read an MSG. Unfortunately, the ones I use are Windows apps. FYI: In general, if I need to read a non-open data format in Linux I check out the libyal library to see if they happen to have a tool for that: https://github.com/libyal/libyal/wiki/Overview Approximately 50% of those packages are in openSUSE. So if I had a PST file to try to parse, I would install "libpff-tools" and then look to see if there was a relevant tool for extracting discrete emails from the PST. I already looked and don't see one for MSG format files. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thunderbird saves as *.eml

Interesting.

What if it is protected by password? I have an old backup of outlook or exchange email archives; I could save all on Thunderbird, except the inbox. Originally it was an Active Directory domain, I found no way to open it.
I already looked and don't see one for MSG format files.
Pity. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

We also offer email archiving - when we migrate Exchange customers, we have a tool for parsing their PST files into separate files (which we then import into our archive). Usually MSG files are plain text. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Plain text? Really? I guess I've got such easy access to tools that handle them that I never even looked at the native structure. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Plain text? Really?
When we ask a user to forward a complete email to us for diagnosis, sometimes they have to drag it from Outlok onto their desktop. Here it ends up as a MSG file, which can then be forwarded. I think that may have been with older versions of Outlook. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.7°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

As a client, using Outlook to access exchange server in Windows, I remember I used Netscape (year 2000) to access the mail store. Netscape knew and used the outlook dlls to access the mail store and import it. The trick might still work. :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
