Hello everybody, [I am new to this list - if there is a searchable archive of this list then please let me know, I might find there the answer to the following questions]
I'm writing a small program (in Delphi) which helps me to export all TheBat! Mailboxes in one go (recursively stepping down the folders and calling TheBat! with the /export command line)(to mbox format as used by KMail). However I encountered a problem: empty mailboxes/folders. To be precise: if a mailbox/folder once contained messages which have been deleted in the meantime, the files Messages.tbb and Messages.tdi are present. But because they contain no messages, the /export command outputs no file. The target system, however, expects an empty mbox file in this case. I see two possible solutions: 1) Check if the Messages.tbb/Messages.tdi files contain any messages. That means that I have to understand the format of these files (which might be a good idea anyhow ;-) So, is there a specification I could have look at? 2) Call TheBat! with the /export command and then check if there is any output. The difficulty here is that TheBat! returns almost immediatly even if it is still working on the command. Where do I get a clue that TheBat! has completed its export? Any help is very appreciated.
