@Aksel-Visby Aksel-Visby released this 28 Jun 13:39

The command-line converter now runs on Linux and macOS, not just Windows — the engine is fully cross-platform, and prebuilt single-file CLI binaries ship for all three. The desktop app remains Windows-only for now.

Added

  • Prebuilt CLI for Windows, Linux, and macOS (single-file, self-contained — no .NET install needed).

Changed

  • The desktop app's conversion step starts faster: it reuses the message total from the scan it just ran instead of counting every mailbox a second time. (Direct CLI users: new convert --expected-total <n> flag.)

Fixed

  • Inline images that are also real attachments stay visible — a part referenced inline (CID) and present as an explicit attachment was being hidden and could go missing from the attachment list.
  • More accurate size/count estimates for forwarded-as-attachment (message/rfc822) messages during scan.
  • Cancelling a conversion no longer leaves a stray temp file.

Downloads

  • Desktop app (Windows 10/11): ContinuMail Converter_0.2.3_x64-setup.exe (includes the CLI).
  • Command-line: mail2pst-cli-0.2.3-win-x64.exe · -linux-x64 · -osx-arm64.

Notes & disclaimers

  • Binaries are not yet code-signed. Windows: SmartScreen may warn ("More info → Run anyway"). macOS: unsigned, so clear Gatekeeper quarantine — xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ./mail2pst-cli-0.2.3-osx-arm64. Linux: the self-contained runtime needs ICU (sudo apt install -y libicu-dev on Debian/Ubuntu).
  • The osx-arm64 binary is built and CI-tested on macOS, but not yet run on bare-metal Apple hardware.
  • Free software, provided as is — please keep a backup of your originals and validate the output before relying on it.
