I ran gmail backup, which marked all my gmail messages as read. Ugh. I actually use that read/unread information. I had just installed Thunderbird, and it shows hundreds of messages in "All Mail" that are unread. Only it had only downloaded the headers, not the messages. So something in Thunderbird knows they are unread, but I'm not sure exactly what.
I read that there are two files for any mail folder, an mbox-format file and a .msf file. The mbox format file for "All Mail" does not have all the messages. However, the .msf file is pretty big, and I wonder if it has all the read/unread info.
If it does, I would consider extracting it, and going back and reapplying it programmatically (say, using gmail4j).
The msf file is using Mork format so reading it is pretty complicated. Fortunately, you don't have to: the mails in the mbox file have a special X-Mozilla-Status header. It's a hexadecimal value combining a number of flags. The lowest bit in this header (0x0001) is only set for messages that are read - if it isn't there then the message is unread.
If you want to read only Header and the Summary part of your Emails, then you can read it from your .msf file of your Mozilla Thunderbird, Since The .msf file is just a index file of Mozilla Thunderbird. So you cannot read all the information of your Emails from it. To read your Emails, you first need to find the location of your INBOX File which doesn't have an extension.
you can find its location from here in your Thunderbird Email client:
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\wb09b73f.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail.com
Then, copy it and paste it to other location of your system and rename it to INBOX.mbox and then you can easily import it from your Mozilla Thunderbird and can Easily read your Emails after importing it on your Thunderbird.

I need to ask you about the possibility of saving LotusNotes documents (with the attachments) as separated files in EML format on a hard disc.
Of course it's not important to keep the original document's look but it's very important to input into the file the content of the notes document including all the attached files.
The reason is to be able to open the exported file in an email client.
Is it possible?
Do you have any experience with resolving a problem like this?
The easiest way to do this for a small number of documents is to use #MailSend to forward the documents to a Notes user account or to mail-in database, and then go into that mailbox, select the message, and drag it to your desktop. Recent versions of the Notes client will save the document as .eml file that can be opened in Outlook or other standard mail clients. Or instead of sending to something in Notes, you could send to a non-Domino email system, connect with Outlook and do the same drag-to-desktop there, which I believe results in a .msg file instead of a .eml file, but they're essentially the same.
To automate it for a large number of documents that I need to do in one batch, I might still use the #Mailsend approach, but I'd do this on a dedicated Domino server. I'd address the email to an external address, and I'd set up SMTPSaveOutboundToFile=1 in the notes.ini file of that dedicated Domino server.
I think the Notes-client drag to desktop operation results in somewhat higher fidelity in the .eml file than either of the other approaches, but it's been about ten years and three major Notes/Domino versions since I played around with any of these.
Yes this can definitely be done programmatically. To do this, convert the doc to MIME via convertToMIME() using the DxlExporter to do the rest of the work. It creates XML output that contains a <mime> tag in which the output of the fully converted MIME format document resides.

My university deletes students' Outlook email account after they graduate and so I am exporting my inbox at a .olm file.
I figured this would be sufficient to save my meaningful emails that I want to save, but I wonder how I will ever open the .olm file if the account itself will be deleted...
Any ideas/info?
Cheers
OLM files are used only by Mac as Database file by Microsoft Outlook and can't be opened by the Windows version of Outlook because the Windows version uses .PST files rather than the OLM format.
assuming you have mac if not then To open OLM files in Windows, you can first convert the OLM file to the PST.
But there are other ways to save Outlook emails
Text only format
Outlook Message Format .msg – the older version of .msg
does not support the full range of Unicode characters.
Outlook Message Format – Unicode the newer of .msg that
includes Unicode characters.
I will use this .msg format. These days ‘plain’ can have Unicode for emoji etc.
Save to Word
Outlook Template .oft to make a template for new emails.
HTML – a web page version of the message
MHT – also a web page but with images etc embedded into a single
file.
making the subject line of the message the file name.
Remember all the above formats are indexed by OS, You will be able to find a saved message by searching words in the message.
Save to PDF
PDF is another way to store ‘permanent’ or archival documents.
look into examples like python or VBA code that can help you save emails to the format you need.
I'm using ClamAV, communicating via a Unix socket a la https://github.com/Elycin/php-clamav/. All working so far.
My app picks up files from a folder. Each file contains RFC822-compliant content (sometimes you see these with extension .eml).
I was going to write code to unpack the .eml file into separate body text and multiple attachment(s). However a quick test showed that if I just write the whole .eml file to the clamd socket, e.g. the EICAR test file as an attachment, clamd scans and reports the "infected" file.
I was wondering if this can be relied upon, i.e. does clamd always unpack and check embedded MIME-part email attachments thoroughly, or did I just "get lucky" with my tests? I don't want to trust to luck.
I think I answered my own question. Documentation https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-faq states
1/ Supports almost all mail file formats
and
6/ Libclamav provides an easy and effective way to add a virus
protection into your software. The library is thread-safe and
transparently recognizes and scans within archives, mail files, MS
Office document files, executables and other special formats.
[Libclamav is used by clamd].
I can't find the solution for my problem. So, in my send-mailmessage html body is field that should be redirected to file which is included as attachment in message. How can I create hyperlink to that file in mail, when client opens it?
I don't know if you get my idea. In other words, in message I have attached file, and then there is field which should be a hyperlink to attached file. When client receives message he/she should press the link and then attached file opens.
I searched almost everything in everwhere but can't find a appropriate solution how to solve this.
This isn't really a PowerShell question, since this issue has nothing to do with the functionality of the Send-MailMessage cmdlet.
In any case, the reason you can't find a solution anywhere is that what you're trying to do is impossible. There is no way that a hyperlink in an e-mail message can point to a file attached to that message. Different mail clients on different operating systems store attachments in different locations. Even if you want to assume that all your recipients are running Outlook on Windows, there are different versions of both. Even if you know for a fact that all recipients are running a specific version of Outlook on a specific version of Windows, you're still out of luck. Outlook stores attachments in a subfolder in the Temporary Internet Files in the user's profile that has a randomly generated name. There's no way to inject code into a hyperlink in an email message, so without knowing the exact local file location, you can't link to it.
I suppose if you're really determined you could have the hyperlink point to a web page that runs some complex javascript code that tries to figure out where the attachment is stored, but that's a major undertaking, and would break if the recipient's default browser has javascript disabled.
Which begs the question, why exactly are you trying to do this? So that recipients can click once instead of having to double-click to open the attachment?
I have found that you can make a hyperlink point to a file share that you know the recipients have access to.
To do so:
Simply make each hyperlink point to the specific file and there you have it.
They have to have permissions to access that file share, or there is a much better way now that I haven't thought of.
Oh well, this works for me, for now.
I had a bunch of mail to be sent out that was not. I realized that my mail settings in Coldfusion Administrator were incorrect and have since corrected them. I tested the new settings with new mail and they work. I am now trying to re-send out the messages in the spool, but they go right back in the undelivered mail spool. I'm assuming that they are still using the old mail settings. Is there any way to force them to send out using the new current settings?
You'll need to edit the individual spool files, as they most likely have the mail server information in the file itself. If you open a few of the files in your badmail directory, you should be able to locate the server information and adjust accordingly.
If you can do a bulk find/replace on the files, it should make short work of it.
