Re: [SOGo] Winmail.dat Invites

["t.b.mailingli...@igeno-fat.de"]

The description sounds good and it seems to be in active development.

And he seems to be willing to add new features. Maybe he can learn from 
your problem, from my comments and from the links below.


QUOTE:

"If you want additional information exported (to the vCalendar or vCard 
information), then use the -v option to try & find out where the 
information is. Then send the winmail.dat file, along with the -v 
listing to me (randall.h...@gmail.com ) 
along with some information & justifications. It works best if you send 
several data files, showing the option in various states to back up your 
claim. For example, if you want me to parse recurrence patterns encoded 
in the TNEF stream, then send yourself several meeting requests with 
almost identical information, and several different recurrence patterns, 
and (hopefully) the only fields that change will the the UID & the 
recurrence information."

Hi again,

this maybe does not work for your problem.  :/

At least calendar entries in winmail.dat files are not send as *.isc, 
instead they seem to be embedded in MAPI (Microsoft proprietary 
Messaging Application Programming Interface).


This software for MAC can decode this: 
http://www.joshjacob.com/mac-development/tnef.php


But it seems https://github.com/verdammelt/tnef/   can not  (please 
read this): *https://github.com/verdammelt/tnef/issues/13*


Someone would have to extend https://github.com/verdammelt/tnef/ to 
contain the MAPI decoding and conversion to *.ics.  The original 
author doesn't do active development anymore.


Regards

TB

LookOut has many problems.  Sometimes It can not "save all" 
attachments. If you try that, all files have the same binary content.


There are server side converters which are able to unpack the 
proprietary winmail.dat attachments.
The can be plugged in e.g. Dovecot like e.g. virus scanners (e.g. 
Amavis, Spamassasin).

I don't remember them atm, sorry.
Maybe this?:   https://github.com/verdammelt/tnef

I usually try to educate the conversation parters that they should 
change their settings in Outlook (or globally in group 
policys/exchange settings), to not send proprietary non-standard 
Outlook-only attachments which can not be received on Mobile devices, 
apple devices, iPads, Smartphones etc.


Often they understand it if I tell them that they should try to send 
an file-attachment to their iPhone/Smartphone.  They can't open the 
attachment there either. They only see winmail.dat.

Re: [SOGo] Thunderbird Plugin

["Kai-Uwe Rommel"]

I have switched to TBSync and removed the SOGo plugin. The TBSync plugin
uses ActiveSync to synchronize calendar and contacts. Works fine.
Perhaps you may want to give it a try instead of waiting for the SOGo
connector plugin.

Hi Ludovic,

I've checked some websites for updates:

  - sogo-connector-31.0.6 and sogo-integrator-31.0.6 are from July 10.: 
  https://sogo.nu/download.html#/frontend
  - Latest commit d816704 
 
on Mar 16, 2018:    https://github.com/inverse-inc/sogo-connector.tb31
  - Latest commit 1723bf7 
 
on 23 Aug 2017: https://github.com/inverse-inc/sogo-integrator.tb31


Can you please share a rough schedule for Thunderbird 60 compatibility?
BTW, separate configuration for integrator would be really really helpful!

regards

TB

Thunderbird 60 is now a Release Candidate. And there are major changes
to the Addon structure. The current plugins do not work at all. In
prevision releases at least some functionality was present this is not
the case with TB 60.
What are the plans regarding the support for TB?

We plan to start working on this soon. We aim to fully support
Thunderbird 60.


Fine!
I hope with separate configuration
