Today I will be releasing the Release Candidate of my Chatlog to Email Converter Plus!

I added “Plus!” as it is designed for Messenger Plus! chatlogs.

It now supports every form of Messenger chatlogs text or html and also has emoticon support.

Requirements:

Wishlist:

  • Remove Thunderbird requirement and support direct upload to specified imap server

Download:

I’ve setup a google code project for my script. Yes it’s open source!!!

Download Script

Instructions for use:

  1. Place all your chatlogs inside one folder
  2. Place my script within the same folder (make sure the folder does not contain any files apart from chatlogs or images)
  3. Open up a command window inside that folder
  4. Type “python chatlog2email.py -p -t” to convert all plain text and html chatlogs to mime format (type python chatlog2email.py –help for advanced usage)
  5. Once it’s done you shold see a file called “Chatlogs”  move that file to <Path to thunderbird preferences>\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Mail\Local Folders
  6. Open up Thunderbird and drag drop the chatlogs to an email account that supports imap

Easy!

If you have any problems either post here or file a bug report on google code.

If you found this useful, drop a comment or send me an email. It makes me happy :)

Please see this post for updated version

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I’ll be releasing the RC of the Classic Chatlog to Email Converter

For you to use this you must satisfy the following conditions:

  • That chatlogs you want converted must pre-date Messenger Plus 3.0 or whatever version that was released prior to June 2006
  • You must have python installed (preferably the latest stable 2.x version)
  • You must have chardet installed
  • You must install Thunderbird

Todo:

  • Threading for even faster performance!

Wishlist:

  • Automatic uploading to your email account

I actually have a WORKING unicode supported script for HTML chatlogs, however, I’ve yet to get the emoticons/handwriting pics working but you’ll probably see a release some time soon in the future.

Instructions:

  1. Move all your pre-June 2006 messenger plus chatlogs to a folder
  2. Place the script inside the folder
  3. Double click to run the script
  4. A file called “Chatlog” will be created
  5. Move that file to <Path to thunderbird preferences>\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Mail\Local Folders
  6. Open up Thunderbird and drag drop the chatlogs to an email account that supports imap
