Error when trying to sort by "from"

Hello,

we are trying to load emails sorted from an exchange server. We are using the builder with following code:

builder.getFrom().orderBy(true)
client.listMessagesByPage(folderUri, builder.getQuery(), 50).getItems();

We get an Exception:

class com.aspose.email.system.exceptions.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
com.aspose.email.system.collections.generic.Dictionary.get_Item(Unknown Source)
com.aspose.email.zpt.a(SourceFile:7514)
com.aspose.email.zpt.b(SourceFile:7464)
com.aspose.email.zpt.a(SourceFile:7396)
com.aspose.email.zpt.a(SourceFile:7270)
com.aspose.email.zpt.a(SourceFile:7229)
com.aspose.email.zpt.a(SourceFile:7210)
com.aspose.email.zpt.a(SourceFile:8621)
com.aspose.email.zpt.listMessagesByPage(SourceFile:8480)

It does work for
builder.getSubject().orderBy(true)
and
builder.getInternalDate().orderBy(true)

Can you fix this? It’s not our fault as far as we can see, since we don’t do anything different with the “getFrom()…” than with the other methods.

Thank you very much,

Sigur

Hello Tahir Manzoor,

thank you for the reply, we now have the Project you required: aspose.zip (1.3 KB)

In the zip there is a error.txt documenting the output and a Main.java, which when executed is producing the error. We cannot supply you with input email files, since we have encountered the error with several internal email accounts with Exchange Server 2010. Whoever recreating this will have to recreate it on his/her own Exchange Testmachine. It does also throw the error when the inbox is empty, but only with the mentioned method.

Thank you for your help, we hope you can fix it.

Best Wishes - Sigur

Hello (again) Tahir Manzoor,

thank you for fixing the exception. The next problem, sadly, arose when we tested the new version. Yes, we now can fetch the mails sorted by “from” - at least it seemed so at first. When inspected the list of emails we received though, we realized, that the order is not correct. Please check. You can use the codesample which we already supplied - the order is not correct. I.e. it doesn’t start with A.

Best wishes and thanks in advance

It is to inform you that the issue which you are facing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Email. So, we have closed this issue (EMAILJAVA-35018) as ‘Not a Bug’.

Please note that the ordering only works by email address part, not by display name part. For example:

ORIGIN
"b_user" <from2@host.com>
"a_user" <from1@host.com>
"d_user" <from0@host.com>
ORDERED
"d_user" <from0@host.com>
"a_user" <from1@host.com>
"b_user" <from2@host.com>
