New feature needed - ZCS Import Wizard @ the CLI

[reza225]

Is there anyway to import PST files from the mail server cli? I think it would be easier on the administrator if there were a Zimbra Import Wizard command line interface program. This would allow us to upload all the PSTs to the server, then write a batch file, or shell script to import all the user email data to their Zimbra accounts.
Some of my clients have 2gb+ PSTs and I'm thinking this would be an easier solution than checking up on their computer every few hours.

Currently the pst file conversion/import is not done on the server.

We very much welcome the input of our community members, after all our roots are in open source. However, please file an enhancement, as that's how we figure out what our community wants.

unfortunately, there is no good way to do this. PST's are proprietary and the only *complete* API's to do this are available on windows only.

damn, I could see how that could be quite the PITA. Maybe you guys could just create a cmd line version of the Zimbra Import Wizard so we can write batch scripts for that.

you mean, something like this!

Does this look like the right setup for the Config.XML?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
