1 | Small tool to inject mails via IMAP |
| 2 | that can be used to restore e-mails from account backup. | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This program relies on the following assumptions: | |
| 5 | - IMAP hierarchy separator is / (unixhierarysep=yes) | |
| 6 | - INBOX maps to user/[username] | |
| 7 | - internal encoding of . etc. as of cyrus 2.2 | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Features: | |
| 10 | - File to mailbox option for restoring the mail folder hierarchy | |
| 11 | - Append mode - do not delete any mailboxes and messages while injecting files | |
| 12 | - Log to file and console with all actions | |
| 13 | - Output from the main function suggesting how many potential warnings | |
| 14 | during restoring are good to be reviewed by the user | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | Prerequisites: | |
| 17 | Python version 2.7 or later | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | Linux: Should be part of any modern linux distribution | |
| 20 | Windows: Get it from http://www.python.org/getit/windows/ | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | Files that can be used by the program: | |
| 23 | - mboxlist.dump: Contains the stored ACL rights for each mailbox with line format: | |
| 24 | user.<owner>.<mailbox> 0 default <username> <acls> <usr2> <acls2> ... | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | Files that may be produced by the program: | |
| 27 | - restore_mail_inject.log: Log file. Will be truncated on script invocation. | |
| 28 | - test_file.dump: Test dump files can be produced during unit testing but are | |
| 29 | automatically removed | |
