Hi,

I'm looking for the folder/directory that consists of the personal contacts.

this is my mailbox on the server, but I cannot figure out which has the contacts in it. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

Rick - using 11.4.4

you could do a grep on those folders for a known portion of one of your contacts?

or export the contacts: (bash)

Thanks, experimenting with that now....

I believe the API (as above) and LDAP are the only ways to get it, other than a client connection.

Using omcontain on my mailbox, my Contacts folder points to ~/data/00000o0/00irq25, or outside the user's own folders. Generally only the top-level folders are kept here anyway.

shouldn't this work?

# wget -v http://server.domain.com/api/richard.chamberlain@domain.com --password=temp/mailbox/Contacts/?output=vcard >>rdc_vcard.txt

--09:41:27-- http://server.domain.com/api/richard.chamberlain@domain.com
=> `richard.chamberlain@domain.com'
Resolving server.domain.com... ##.##.##.## (IP)
Connecting to server.domain.com|##.##.##.##|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
09:41:27 ERROR 404: Not Found.

incredibly, the URL should look like this:
http://server.domain.com/api/richard.chamberlain@domain.com/temp/mailbox/Contacts/?output=vcard

same error - "ERROR 404: Not Found". is it because of a bug in version 11.4.4?

I think it unlikely (not using 11.4.4 here).

I thought they were held in one of the MAPI folders, and would be stored as basic items in the message store.
Have a look in omcontain, and see if you can see the contacts in the "contacts" folder.

Hi Mick,

Yes I see the contacts in omcontain, but it doesn't help me know where in the http string they should be?

http://server.domain.com/api/richard.chamberlain@domain.com/temp/mailbox/Contacts/?output=vcard

I'm no longer getting the '404' error, just ' No such file or directory' Which makes me wonder if our contacts are stored in a different location?

If your domain was url.com and you mail server at mail.url.com then this url when visited in a browser:
http://mail.url.com/api/sdf@url.com/mailbox/Contacts/?output=vcard
would give a login prompt and once validated will produce a file to download of all the contacts for user sdf.
Apologies if I was not clearer initially - as I can see that i merely put yourserver and not yourserver.com at one point in the example, which got further compounded later on.

Thanks,

We got the command correct. The specific error we are getting now is "java.lang.RuntimeException: Attempting to render unsupported objects of type class com.scalix.api.entity.Message"

I'm guessing 11.4.4 has a bug that disallows the vcard output. Does anyone know which versions for sure work with this?

the postulated assertion from you of '11.4.4 bug' is not taken by me, to have any credibility.
But in any case, I checked that possibility out, and there does not seem to be anything in Scalix Bugzilla (for any of the versions) regarding vcard export bugs (using a few obvious search terms).
https://bugzilla.scalix.com

I also checked bugzilla earlier this week and did not see anything specific.

I'm at a loss as to why I cannot get this to work.
