Parsing Outlook pst with tics

Question

I am new to Tika and working on parsing Outlook files. Using Outlook Extractor, I can parse * .msg, but not * .pst. Is it possible to parse a pst file with ticks? If so, how?

thanks

Answer 1

When you asked a question, it was impossible. The Tika Enhancement request - TIKA-623 to add PST support was only allowed in Tika 1.6. For older versions of Tika, you will have to get the patch from there. (All dependencies are now in Maven Central - this has been a key blocker for a long time)

For users of Apache Tika 1.6 or later, the good news is that PST support is built-in, and PST is now one of the supported email formats in Tika!

Answer 2

pst Paragraph files available with Tika 1.6
