Hi,
we're trying to process a PST file via help of PersonalStorage class from Aspose.Email component.
We encountered 2 problems:
1)
What we observe is we can't access the "hidden" folders as specified here - MAPI Hidden Folders :
Hidden folders are generic folders that clients create in the root
folder of the message store, rather than in the root folder of an
interpersonal message (IPM) subtree. Because these folders are not
placed in an IPM subtree, they are generally hidden from the user's view
by the message store provider. Hidden folders typically contain
information that is relevant to the message store but irrelevant to the
user. Clients create hidden folders to store, for example, additional
information to be saved with the rest of the folder hierarchy.
The RootFolder On PersonalStorage gives us the IPM subtree (which contains Inbox, etc), but our requirements expect the processing of all folders - even those which are not accessible via Outlook by default.
Is there any way to get access to the root folder of the message store?
2)
Also the PST (MAPI?) has a feature to have "messages" not only in folder but in a hidden associated content part of folder. It usually contains settings and such, but we also observed valid messages there in the past (how the users manages to move them there - no idea).
Are we capable to access such "folder" and it's hidden associated content in any way?
Thanks and regards,
Michal
