New Features

Extract Message Recipients from PST

A feature has been introduced that allows recipients to be extracted from PST files using a message entry ID. This feature is available in the PersonalStorage class.

Recipients Extracted by Entry ID:

Method: MapiRecipientCollection ExtractRecipients(string entryId)

Code example:

using (var pst = PersonalStorage.FromFile(fileName))
{  
    // Recipients are extracted using the entry ID
    var recipients = pst.ExtractRecipients("AAAAADzSMygQQFJOkKwVhb8v5EUkASAA");
}

Recipients Extracted from Message Info:

Method: MapiRecipientCollection ExtractRecipients(MessageInfo messageInfo)

Code example:

using (var pst = PersonalStorage.FromFile(fileName))
{  
    // The "Inbox" folder is obtained
    var folder = pst.RootFolder.GetSubfolder("Inbox");

    // Each message in the "Inbox" folder is iterated
    foreach (var messageInfo in folder.EnumerateMessages())
    {
        // Recipients are extracted from each message
        var recipients = pst.ExtractRecipients(messageInfo);
    }
}

2. Soft Deleted Items Recovered in Local PST and OST Files

A method to recover soft deleted items from local PST and OST files has been provided. This is implemented via the PersonalStorage class.

Method: IList<RestoredItemEntry> FindAndExtractSoftDeletedItems()

Code example:

using (var pst = PersonalStorage.FromFile(fileName))
{
    // Soft deleted items are found and extracted
    var entries = pst.FindAndExtractSoftDeletedItems();

    // The recovered items are iterated through
    for (var index = 0; index < entries.Count; index++)
    {
        // Folder information is obtained by ID
        var folderInfo = pst.GetFolderById(entries[index].FolderId);

        // A directory for the folder is created if it doesn't exist
        if (!Directory.Exists(folderInfo.DisplayName))
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(path, folderInfo.DisplayName));
        }
        
        // The restored item is obtained
        var msg = entries[index].Item;
        
        // The restored item is saved as a .msg file
        msg.Save(Path.Combine(path, folderInfo.DisplayName, $"{index}.msg"));
    }
}

3. Multi-Contact VCF Converted to MapiDistributionList

Support has been added for converting multi-contact VCF files into MapiDistributionList objects. This can be done using the following static methods in the MapiDistributionList class.

Methods:

  • static MapiDistributionList FromVCF(string filePath)
  • static MapiDistributionList FromVCF(Stream stream)

Code example:

// A multi-contact VCF file is converted to a MapiDistributionList
MapiDistributionList dlist = MapiDistributionList.FromVCF(fileName);
