This is continued from my earlier question https://superuser.com/questions/237471/batch-convert-outlook-express-dbx-files-to-ms-office-outlooks-pst-files-on-linu Please read the details there.
So, it looks so far like there are no available linux based .dbx to .pst converters. I am now thinking of trying out some windows based solutions on linux (using Wine). If someone knows of any Wine supported windows application which can be used as an automated process without any human involvement, please let me know. I assume that the software needs to be written to expect parameters through the command. Otherwise it is not possible to use it in an automated way.
Please note that, simply being able to use wine to start the application is not enough. It would display a UI to select an input file etc like this -
This would not work if the process has to be automated because a human being needs to select the filename and follow the steps. So, what is needed is actually a software/tool with Wine support - which expects the filename to be a parameter in the wine execute command.
I got the idea from this shell script given in http://www.netsick.org/read/4/convert-dbx-to-mbx-mailboxes-on-gnu-linux which executes another such converter (dbx2mbx) on linux through wine.
Thanks
