Outlook-grabber

Current version: 0.3
Download the package here.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to an Outlook Web Access Exchange server anymore, because I switched jobs. I cannot support this software anymore without access. If you want me to continue developping this software, fix me up an account somewhere ;-)

Many thanks go to Jens Knutson for supporting development of Outlook Grabber by sending me something from my CDNow wishlist (see below)

Outlook-grabber is a perl script that allows you to download mail from an Microsoft Outlook web-access server and put it in your mailbox. Outlook-grabber can be seen as a free alternative for Ximian Connector

It can use SSL (in fact, most Outlook-Web-Access servers I've seen use HTTPS) if you compiled lib-www with SSL support.
Current features:

Easy setup (only 1 perl file and some standard modules)
Easy configuration (set up some variables in the first few lines of the script, good explaination is given)
A log is made of all the messages that have been downloaded
Attachments are downloaded (since version 0.2)

Features that will be added in future releases:

Lookup of email adresses in the addressbook
Downloading the schedular data to import it to whatever you want (XML??)
...

If you have any suggestions, features requests, bugfixes or beer please let me know!

This project has a mailinglist, to be added, send a message to johannes at verelst dot net

Recently I was pointed to some software with the same features as version 0.3. This software 'MSweb' can be found at the following sourceforge site: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/msweb
