A Java desktop Application to export the content of the MemoDB.pdb to a CSV file

latest change:

This is a Java Desktop Application for MAC, Windows, Linux and all Plattforms supporting Java 1.1.8 or better.
To run this software you need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK).

You have to install a Jave Runtime Invironment like it is distributed by SUN, IBM or Apple. Up to now it has no GUI. It is a comand line driven utility. For Apple you can use Tools like JShell or JBindery to run the Application from the shell.


This Java Desktop Application exports all Mails of the MailDB.pdb to a CSV (Comma Separated Values) File. The values are surrounded by double quotes and each value seperated by a semicolon, not comma. There is IFO File generated.

It runs with Java 1.2 or better.

The CSV File contains for each Mail one row. Line Feed characters are replaced by "\n".

Column Type Description
CATEGORIE String Categorie of the Mail (same as in the Category Selector of the Mail Application)
FROM String Just filled for Mails which are in the Inbox
TO String Filled for Mails which are recieved by you (Inbox, Deleted)
SENT_TO String Filled for Mails which are edited by you (Outbox, Draft, Deleted)
CC String Carbon Copy
BCC String Blind Carbon Copy
PRIORITY String normal|high|low
DATE String Format can be provided as third parameter at the command line or in the batch file
SUBJECT String Subject of the Mail
BODY String Text of the Mail

Deleted records will not be listed.

Syntax:

using a JDK:

    java -cp Mail2CSV.jar STARTER Mail2CSVMailDB.pdb MailDB.CSV

if you have just installed the runtime environment:

    jre -cp Mail2CSV.jar STARTER Mail2CSV MailDB.pdb MailDB.CSV


Be careful, the Java Runtime environment is case sensitve. Have a look at the Sample Batch File; it can be used for the Windows Platform.


You can use that piece of Software free of charge.


It will work with all PalmOS™ Version, as long the format of the MailDB.pdb has not changed

Tested on Palm OS 3.3, 3.4, 4.0 and 5.0.

Any distribution of that Software via CD-ROM, Internet or other media without the permission of the author is not allowed.

This software can be used free of charge, except for commercial use. Please refer to the licence agreement for further details. Conatct the author if you have any further questions.

These applications are distributed as archives files. To extract the original files from an archive, you can use WinZip (.zip) for Windows or StuffIt Expander (.sit) for Macs.
