Sample .INI File

The following .INI file was used by POPPST to create a new PST and place a single test message in it:

; [profile]
; NAME=Jerry Wheeler
; PASSWORD=

[newpst]
NAME=Personal Folders
ENCRYPTION=OFF
PASSWORD=
PATH=\WINNT\POPPST.PST

[message 1]
FROM=Jerry Wheeler
TO=None Two
BCC=Jerry Wheeler
FOLDER=Top of Personal Folders\Inbox
SUBJECT=POPPST Test Message 02/21/95-1
XTEXT=\PST\BODY.TXT
DATE=1995-02-21
TIME=10:25
PRIORITY=NORMAL
XATTACH=\PST\POPPST.INI
 

This example .INI file illustrates several points:

• If you include both a [PROFILE] and a [NEWPST] section in an .INI file, one of them must be commented out.
• Following the [NEWPST] section is a single [MESSAGE] section, which results in the creation of a single message in the new PST called POPPST.PST. (The "1" in the [MESSAGE] section header line is ignored by POPPST.EXE.)
• POPPST does not ignore whitespace after the equals sign in a section entry line, such as the name of the mailbox (Personal Folders) in the new PST.
• The body of the message to be created consists of the contents of the \PST\BODY.TXT file.
• The \PST\POPPST.INI file is included in this new message as an attachment.
