ImportExportTools

This is a mirror of the ImportExport Tools addon, latest version 3.3.2 (2019-02-04). It is currently maintained by Paolo "Kaosmos" and listed on addons.thunderbird.net.

I have implemented several changes to the export overview CSV function, to fix bugs that would screw up the formatting and subsequent processing of the recipients and senders of emails. Find attached below the original description.

I also added three python scripts: The first transform.py anonymizes the exported CSV overview. The script ol-extract.py uses libff python-bindings to traverse an outlook pst-file and extracts the inbox emails. Because the python-bindings are still work in progress and do not include all necessary means to fully export the recipients of the pst file, the script ol-transform.py builds on top of the pffexport tool (also in libpff) and parses its output into a format that is compatible with the transform.py script.

Installation

To install the ImportExportTools addon, just clone the repository and zip the relevant files. Then you can install it like any other Thunderbird Addon from the menu.

git clone https://github.com/johuellm/importexporttools.git
cd importexporttools
zip -r9 importexporttools.xpi chrome defaults chrome.manifest gpl-3.0.txt install.rdf
