Version 0.53 crashes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My observations:
1. The program starts without problmes
2. Program crashes when:
-  uplading the path to the directory or to the .imm file
-  after pressing the Convert button
-  in the middle of the conversion. 

OS: I tied with Windows 7 and Windows XP. The same problem in both versions.

Program Version: 0.53

After many crashes of the 0.53 version, I installed the old one, and I manage 
to recover all my emails with the attachments!!!
The program RULEZ!!! I couldn't find anything else that could recover my 
emails. Great Job!!!

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the latest 0.53 version.
As sylwia.b...@gmail.com write, I have the same trouble.
The program works well with some directories, but with 1-2 directories it 
crashes every time.

If you need, I can send the .imm file to check the rootcause and solve the 
problem.
My OS is: Win7 64b hun

Hi again,
I think the problem is about the directories, which contains Hungarian 
characters, like "ö,ü,ó,ő,ú,é,á,ű,í" in their name.
I think the program needs UTF-8 encoding, or maybe the ISO-8859-2 or latin2, 
but I don't know really.

Here are some steps to take if this thing crashes mid-conversion:
1) This utility seems to want to convert the Deleted items folder no matter 
what. So I moved the Deleted.imm and Deleted.imh files to another directory 
before starting the conversion.
2) Since it creates directories as it progresses through your emails (and since 
it processes these in alphabetical order), you notice the last directory is 
empty.  If that last directory's name contains non-alphanumeric characters, 
bring up Incredimail and rename the corresponding folder to one with only 
letters and numbers. (Right-click on the folder name in Incredimail to Rename)  
[Note: it may be possible to simply rename the .imm and .imh files, but haven't 
tested this.]
Frankly, you should simply go through all your folders before running the 
conversion and do this step on any that appear with special characters in the 
name.
3) If the directory/folder that fails appears to be named "nicely" then I 
simply copied the offending corresponding .imm and.imh files to another 
directory so they would not be included in the conversion process.  Then 
restarted the conversion. [The converter will simply overwrite any of the 
earlier directories it had created before, so there's no cleanup one has to do 
before restarting.]

Oh, and obviously, if you have to do step 3 above, then the emails within that 
Incredimail folder will not be converted. If you really need them that bad, 
then you may have to Forward them to a secondary email address and receive them 
into your new email client.  As I recall, I had one folder that had to be 
skipped in the gigabyte of emails I converted for a friend.  FYI...the 
conversion of a gigabyte of emails on a rather slow, old PC ran for several 
hours.

My apologies, I was using ReynardWareIncredimailConverter-0.53-Setup during 
both crashes.

Found a Workaround for this Crashing issue:

#3 trics...@gmail.com
Hi again,
I think the problem is about the directories, which contains Hungarian 
characters, like "ö,ü,ó,ő,ú,é,á,ű,í" in their name.

Indeed it's exactly that problem:

Solution:
1. Rename the Folder without an "ö,ü,ó,ő,ú,é,á,ű,í" in its name
2. Download SQLite Database Browser 2.0
3. Open the Containers.db in the Messanges Store folder
4. Goto "Browse data" and edit the correstonding FileName field
5. Convert without problems

With this info, reynardware should implement a workaround without problems

Cherrio ;-)

IncrediMail recovery tool first scans the corrupt file, then extracts data 
items from it and finally saves the recovered messages. The highlighting 
feature of this utility is that it not only restores the accidently deleted 
emails but also those data items that have been emptied from 'Deleted Items' 
folder in IncrediMail. Also, this software is widely used for evidence recovery 
by the computer forensic experts in order to locate deleted mails.

If you deleted the mail messages when you un-installed Incredimail the only 
hope of getting them back is with data recovery software.

Try Free Trail Version Software:-
