Features

• Converts PST and OST files to MBOX format.
• Dockerized environment for easy deployment.
• Parses MBOX files and extracts email details, including attachments.
• Stores parsed email data in an SQLite database.
• Suitable for batch processing of PST files.

Usage

1. Place your PST and OST files that you want to convert into the target_files directory.

2. Start a Docker container using the built image:

   docker run -v $(pwd)/target_files:/app/target_files -v $(pwd)/mbox_dir:/app/mbox_dir pst-to-mbox-converter
