FolderInfo.DeleteChildItem() method was added to delete an item from PST file.


Sample code:
PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.FromFile(strBaseFolder + strPSTFile);

// Get the Sent Items folder
FolderInfo folderInfo = pst.GetPredefinedFolder(StandardIpmFolder.SentItems);
MessageInfoCollection msgInfoColl = folderInfo.GetContents();
foreach (MessageInfo msgInfo in msgInfoColl)
{
Console.WriteLine(msgInfo.Subject + ": " + msgInfo.EntryIdString);
if (msgInfo.Subject.Equals(“some delete condition”) == true)
{
// delete this item
folderInfo.DeleteChildItem(msgInfo.EntryId);
Console.WriteLine(“Deleted this message”);
}
}

Hi Sarfaraj,


I am afraid, I am unable to replicate your said issue on my end. I have created a new PST file from a console application. As soon as the application completed it’s execution, I was able to open the newly created PST in Outlook 2010.

If I have misunderstood your scenario then please correct me.

Note: You can also initialize the PersonalStorage instance in using statement to correctly dispose the object.

using (PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.FromFile(“file.pst”))
{
//do some processing
}

Hi Babar Raza,

i made correction i.e using (pst) still having problem .my requirement is that using aspose.email.outlook .pst i read all folder, subfolder,iterate through all message when it comes to check message entry id look at this snippet(for testing purpose )

MessageInfoCollection messageInfoCollection = folderInfo.GetContents();
foreach (MessageInfo messageInfo in messageInfoCollection)
{
Response.Write("Subject: " + messageInfo.Subject);
[//Response.Write](https://response.write/)("Sender: " + messageInfo.SenderRepresentativeName);
[//Response.Write](https://response.write/)(“Recipients: " + messageInfo.DisplayTo);
Response.Write(“EnryID: " + messageInfo.EntryIdString);
Response.Write(”------------------------------”);
if (messageInfo.EntryIdString.Equals(“AAAAAPi8BgLjGitHmY3d/sTJboTkDCAA”) == true)
{
// // delete this item
folderInfo.DeleteChildItem(messageInfo.EntryId);
Response.Write(“Deleted this message”);
}

it delete the item ,thing is that when i open pst file in outlook it show"
Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted."

Thanks &Regards,
Sarfaraj

Hi Sarfaraj,


Thank you for the correction.

I have tried with several PST files and I am still unable to replicate your said issue on my end. I have managed to delete some messages from different sub-folders of the PST file. After deleting the messages, I opened the PST in Outlook 2010 and the result is as expected. The messages are deleted and I can browse the rest of the messages from same folder.

Although I have two observations,
  • Deleted message does not go to “Deleted Items” folder of the PST. It simply vanishes.
  • I have to close the Outlook to process the PST file from my sample application, even if it is not loaded in Outlook.
I am looking for the answers in regard to above two points.

Regarding your said issue, will it be possible for you to share a sample PST file (of some small size) that can exhibit the issue.

Regards,

Hi Babar Raza,
how can i read folder and subfolder for e.g Inbox/MQ/VQ blah blah within click event.
this is csv part thar read from csv and compare with pst using aspose mail functionality

while (objReader.ReadRecord())
{

string sMailSubject = objReader["$MailSubject"];
-----------------------------------------------------------------
public void ExtractMessage(FolderInfo folderInfo, PersonalStorage pst)
{
MessageInfoCollection messageInfoCollection = folderInfo.GetContents();
if (folderInfo.HasSubFolders == true)
{
foreach (FolderInfo subfolderInfo in folderInfo.GetSubFolders())
{
ExtractMessage(subfolderInfo, pst);
Response.Write(subfolderInfo.DisplayName);
}
}
foreach (MessageInfo messageInfo in messageInfoCollection)
{

if (messageInfo.Subject.Equals(sMailSubject) == true)
{
folderInfo.DeleteChildItem(messageInfo.EntryId);
}

}
Issue is this that i pass csv file in that csv message subject is compared with aspose recursive function for e.g in csv message subject is “Hi” now that message subject is compared with pst if it exist in pst it get deleted .is there any way to read all folder ,subfolder and message without using recursive method to enable comparison and deletion

Any Help Would be Appreciated
Thanks &Regards,
Sarfaraj.

Hi Sarfaraj,


I am afraid there is no way to list all messages from all sub-folders of a PST file in one call. You have use recursive calls to list all messages in a PST.

Are you having any issues with your current implementation?
