Description
Synopsis:

We have a large user base with different e-mail systems which contain company knowledge. We need a solution that will load in each e-mail source file, and extract all information contained within. Information that is to be exported are e-mail (and related attachments), contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and notes. Output of this information can take form as a tab-delimited text file, or a defined XML file. Once extracted, a static printout of the information is to be generated in grayscale/color TIFF (single/multipage) and/or PDF (text searchable) format, along with a native single e-mail file for the cases of PSTs and NSFs. The information output, along with the static printouts will be automatically imported by an existing application.

We require the solution to run as a Windows service, initiated by an existing C#.NET application. The solution must be developed in C#.NET, using the .NET Framework 3.0 or above. The solution must be multi-threaded, and be able to handle exceptions without halting workflow. We require the solution to run comfortably with and independently from other instances of the solution on the same computer. We expect the solution to export the information and generate the respective static printouts at a rate of 1 GB per hour.

If the solution encounters a password protected source file, whether it is e-mail or related attachments, the solution must inform the initiating application of the situation, and continue onto the next file. The solution must handle Unicode and Japanese-coded information sources.

It is expected that the solution will be fully tested for specifics as outlined below, with test results provided as part of the deliverable.
