Migration from CSCMail 1.6.1 to Pronto! is easy especially if you use Pg or
MySQL for a db backend.
- mv ~/.cscmail ~/.pronto
- mv ~/.cscmailrc ~/.prontorc
- edit ~/.prontorc with your favorite editor and replace all instances of
cscmail with pronto
- tar xvzf pronto-1.0.0.tar.gz
- cd pronto
- make install or make install PREFIX=/usr for /usr
- cd /usr/lib/pronto
- ./migration-scripts/AddBccSearch
- ./migration-scripts/AddBodyText
- (if you were using 1.6) ./migration-scripts/mkmimetable.pl
Unfortuntaely, CSV does not support alter table statement and since its
needed for upgrading to the newer version, CSV users may choose to edit
~/.pronto/messages and add the needed fields manually ( not recommended )
here is what I recommend:
- Right click on your folder list and click export folder for each folder
you have.
- tar xvzf pronto-1.0.0.tar.gz
- cd pronto
- make install or make install PREFIX=/usr for /usr
- startup Pronto!
- set your accounts and filters.
- right click on your folders and import back into Pronto the folders you
had previously exported.
- consider a real db backend :)
