Details

MailSaver is a tool that lets GroupWise users take messages that have been filed in folders within GroupWise, and save them in bulk to simple text files on disk, a complete folder all at once, including attachments.

MailSaver is a plug-in (c3po) for the Windows GroupWise client. It uses the GroupWise Object API to extract messages from folders in GroupWise and save them as text files on disk. The messages are saved with customisable names that can include the sender, recipient, date, and subject. It extends the pop-up menu on folders in the GroupWise client to provide a user interface using the GroupWise c3po API.

MailSaver is written in Visual Basic 6, and demonstrates many of the features of the c3po and Object APIs for GroupWise.

You can now get the source code for V4 if you are interested.

• Thanks for a great GW tool. It worked like a charm for us.
• Nice work, but needs some cleanup regarding mass saving due to all mails and attachments end up in same directory, and you don't know what belongs to what
• Works well. For some reason, under sent items it doesn't save the attachments well
• Plugin shows no config-entries under the tools-menu in a german groupwsie 6.5 SP2. (Change language to english works ok) But it works to....
• Was the only free mass export tool I found. Since beggers can't be choosers, I think this is a great tool. Our project members used it to archive e-mail from a year of work at a client that has Groupwise. Thanks!
• It works!
