Nick Burch commented on TIKA-623:
---------------------------------
The re-license is great news! There are two steps needed then:
* Get a version of libpst into Maven Central (so we can include it as a
dependency)
* Write a Parser which uses libpst, likely one that does all the metadata bits
and delegates to other parsers for the message body + attachments
For the former, see something like TIKA-407 for a guide. For the latter, I'd
suggest cribbing off something like PackageParser and the Outlook Parser

> Hello everyone,
> As you might know, Outlook stores its mails and other stuff in a single PST
> file. There's a relatively new Java library called java-libpst for reading
> Outlook PST files. It is licensed under the LGPL and available over here:
> http://code.google.com/p/java-libpst/
> I have tested the library on Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003, with good
> results. It would be great if the library could be integrated into Tika.
> Best regards
> Tran Nam Quang
