DESCRIPTION
openchangeclient is a MAPI command line tool designed to facilitate mail send, receive and delete operations using the MAPI protocol. It also provides operations on tasks, contacts (address book) and calendar operations.
COMMANDS
--fetchmail -F Fetch Exchange user mails from the inbox and display general information from the mails on the standard output. --storemail=DIRECTORY -G Store mail attachments to the local filesystem in the specified directory. This is the normal way to retrieve attachments. --fetch-items=STRING -i Retrieve specific items from Exchange default folders. Possible value for STRING are Mail, Appointment, Contact, Task, Note. --mkdir Create a folder within the mailbox or public folders store hierarchy. This command requires that the --folder-name option be used to specify the name of the folder to create. --rmdir Deletes a folder within the mailbox or public folders store hierarchy. This option requires that the --folder-name option be used to specify the name of the folder to delete. --mailbox -m Display the user mailbox folder hierarchy with folder names, folder comments, the folder type, number of unread items in the folder and total number of items in the folder. --notifications Monitor NEWMAIL notifications in the Inbox folder and display summary on standard output. --sendmail -S Send a mail to a user belonging to the Exchange organization. This requires specifying one or more recipients (see the --to, --cc and --bcc options), a subject (see the --subject option) and a body (see the --body, --html-file and --html- inline options). --sendappointment Create an appointment in the default calendar folder. --sendcontact Create a contact in the default contact folder. --sendtask Create a task in the default task folder. --sendnote Create a note in the default notes folder. --deletemail -D Delete a mail from the exchange user mailbox. This requires use of the --subject option to specify the mail to be deleted. --userlist Display the users listed in the address book. --delete=STRING Delete a specified item from the store by ID number. --ocpf-dump=STRING Download a message (specified by the argument, which must be the folder ID and unique message ID for the message) as OCPF format. The message will be saved to a file given by the message ID, followed by a suffix of .ocpf See the separate (HTML) documentation for libocpf for more information on the OCPF format. --ocpf-sender Send a message given in OCPF format to the server. This requires use of the --ocpf- file option to specify the file to load from. See the separate (HTML) documentation for libocpf for more information on the OCPF format. --ocpf-syntax Check the syntax of an OCPF file. This does not perform any network operations. This requires use of the --ocpf-file option to specify the file to load from. See the separate (HTML) documentation for libocpf for more information on the OCPF format. --freebusy=STRING Fetch the free / busy status for the user specified by the string. You will usually need to use the --pf option (see below) since free / busy status is normally obtained from the public folder store.
OPTIONS
--database=DATABASE -f Set the MAPI profile database. If no database is specified, then openchangeclient tries to load the default one: $HOME/.openchange/profiles.ldb --profile=PROFILE -p Set the profile to use. If a profile is not specified, and one of the profiles has been set as the default in the profile database (for example, using mapiprofile -S), then that default profile will be used. --password -P Specify the password for the profile to be used. This can be omitted if the password is stored in the profile. --pf Perform operations against the Public Folders store, rather than the normal operations against a user's private folders. --folder Specify the folder name we want to work with want to open. This option is mandatory for public folders, but can also be used to open specific folders in the mailbox store. --attachments="ATTACHMENT1;ATTACHMENT2" -A Set attachments to send when sending a mail. Attached filenames need to be separated with semi-colons as specified in the description above. This is only meaningful with --sendmail --subject=STRING -s Specify the mail subject. If no subject is specified, the mail subject will be empty. This is only meaningful with --sendmail --body=STRING -B Set the body of the mail to be the UTF8 text only content specified on the command line.

This is only meaningful with --sendmail --cc="USERNAME1,USERNAME2" -c Specify Cc recipients for the mail. Usernames need to be separated with commas as specified in the example above. This is only meaningful with --sendmail --bcc="USERNAME1,USERNAME2" -b Specify Bcc recipients for the mail. Usernames need to be separated with commas as specified in the example above. This is only meaningful with --sendmail --location=STRING Specify the appointment location. This is only meaningful with --sendappointment --dtstart=STRING Specify the start date of an event. The following date format needs to be used: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S e.g: 2007-06-01 14:59:00. This is only meaningful with --sendappointment and --sendtask --dtend=STRING Specify either the end date or due date of an event. The following date format needs to be used: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S e.g: 2007-06-01 14:59:00 When no dtend parameter is specified, default value is set to dtstart This is only meaningful with --sendappointment and --sendtask --force Add appointment to the calendar, even if it would overlap with an existing appointment.

EXAMPLES
Fetching emails: openchangeclient --database=/tmp/profiles.ldb --profile=2000 --fetchmail Fetch emails and store attachments: openchangeclient --database=/tmp/profiles.ldb --profile=2000 --fetchmail --storemail=test All attachments from any mails will be stored in the test directory. If the specified directory does not exist, it will automatically be created. Note that if the attachment name is not unique amongst all emails, some attachments may be overwritten. Send a basic email: openchangeclient --database=/tmp/profiles.ldb --profile=2000 --to="Adm,jker" --cc=Paul --bcc=Bill --subject="It is working" --body="This is a sample body" --sendmail A mail with UTF8 (text only) content will be sent with the following recipients: to = Administrator and jkerihuel cc = Paul bcc = Bill Send an inline HTML email: openchangeclient --database=/tmp/profiles.ldb --profile=2000 --to=Adm --subject="Inline HTML sample email" --html-inline="<body bgcolor=yellow><h1>My first HTML email</h1></body>" --sendmail Administrator will receive a mail with HTML body - yellow background and a title. Send a HTML mail using a file: openchangeclient --database=/tmp/profiles.ldb --profile=2000 --to=Adm --subject="HTML file email" --html-file=/tmp/myfile.html --sendmail The content of /tmp/myfile.html will be used to fill the HTML body. If the HTML file exceed a fixed size (0x4000 bytes), then PR_HTML content will be sent using MAPI streams. Send email with attachments: openchangeclient --database=/tmp/profiles.ldb --profile=2000 --to=Adm --subject="Attachments" --attachments="/tmp/file1.jpg;/tmp/file2.jpg;tmp/file2.jpg" --body="These are sample attachments" --sendmail The example above will send a UTF8 body mail to Administrator and attach file1,jpg, file2.jpg and file3.jpg to the email. Display the users in the address book openchangeclient --userlist Fetch calendar items: openchangeclient --fetch-items=Appointment Fetch contact items: openchangeclient --fetch-items=Contact Fetch task items: openchangeclient --fetch-items=Task Create appointment: openchangeclient --sendappointment --dtstart="2007-06-01 22:00:00" \ --dtend="2007-06-01 22:35:00" \ --busystatus=FREE \ --location="Home" \ --subject="Check the Junk folder" Create Task: openchangeclient --sendtask --dtstart="2008-11-01 18:00:00" \ --cardname="openchangeclient" --importance=HIGH \ --taskstatus=COMPLETED --body="my new task" Create contact: openchangeclient --sendcontact --cardname="openchangeclient" \ --fullname="OpenChange Client 3rd" \ --email="openchangeclient@nonexistentdomain.com" Create folder: openchangeclient --mkdir --folder-name="openchange" \ --folder-comment="comment" This example will create a generic folder named openchange under the Inbox folder. Delete folder: openchangeclient --rmdir --folder-name="openchange" This example will delete the generic folder named openchange under Inbox folder. List Mailbox hierarchy: openchangeclient --mailbox Obtain free / busy status openchangeclient --pf --freebusy="test user3"
