Extract common metadata fields

ashwini

Hello ,

Would like to know how I can extract the metadata of Email (.MSG or .eml file). The metadata is nothing but a receivers address /senders address /date/subject and all .

I tried doing Extract common metadata fields for the Mimetype in cm:content is 'EMail' using Business Rule but whenever I uploaded .MSG file it shows null values in Originator,Addressee,Addressees,sent date and Subject.

I have configured IMAP as below

imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=143
imap.server.host=172.16.1.130

where imap.server.host is nothing but a IP address where my Alfresco server is running which is on windows environment.

Do I have to configure anything else ?

Please help me to workout on this.

Thanks in advance!!!

Regards,
Ashwini

Imap uses RFC822 (eml files). You can configure which properties are extracted and where they go by overriding the RFC822MetadataExtractor.properties file which is basically a mapping from email header field to alfresco property name.

Office messages (msg files) are handled in a similar way by the MailMetadataExtractor. The list of properties is more constrained by this extractor and does not support arbitary header fields.

Thanks mrogers for your quick reply.

But I have not found both the files( RFC822MetadataExtractor.properties /MailMetadataExtractor) . Where can I get these files or I have to create it ? If yes, how ?

Do I have to configure SMTP protocol /Email server for this ??

Thank you so much again!!

Hello ,
Now i am able to extract the metadata of .eml file. But when I upload the .MSG file the mime-type of file shows as "unknown". So as per the Jira issue http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-3376 I have updated the mimetype-map.xml. But even it doesn't work. S finally I have updated mimetype.ftl file with below mentioned line :

       <@mimetypeOption mt="application/vnd.ms-outlook" />

      <#elseif mt=="application/vnd.ms-outlook">
        <#return "Outlook MSG">

now it start showing mime-type as Outlook MSG for .MSG file but still metadata is not getting extracted for .MSG file.

How I can achieve this?

For .eml file only originator, sent date and subject line is getting extracted. What I have to do if I want to extract TO/CC and BCC field.

Any kind of help is appreciated..
