Hi Team,

When trying to extract the OST file getting the below error. unfortunately, I can’t share more details because it is client data. Below is the code where it is failing and the error log.

int messageNumber = 0;
Iterator iterable = folder.enumerateMessagesEntryId().iterator();

Error :

class com.aspose.email.system.exceptions.EndOfStreamException: Attempted to read past the end of the stream. com.aspose.email.internal.n.zb.a(Unknown Source) com.aspose.email.internal.n.zb.h(Unknown Source) com.aspose.email.internal.n.zb.l(Unknown Source)

@Vamsi_452,
Thank you for the issue description.

Unfortunately, we need the OST file to investigate this case. We can make this forum thread private.

Also, you can try using a traversal API to handle corrupted messages in PST/OST files as shown below:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    TraversalExceptionsCallback exceptionsCallback = new TraversalExceptionsCallback() {
        @Override
        public void invoke(TraversalAsposeException exception, String itemId) {
            /* Exception handling  code. */
        }
    };

    try (PersonalStorage pst = new PersonalStorage(exceptionsCallback)) {
        if (pst.load("test.ost")) {
            getAllMessages(pst, pst.getRootFolder());
        }
    }
}

private static void getAllMessages(PersonalStorage pst, FolderInfo folder) {
    for (String messageEntryId : folder.enumerateMessagesEntryId()) {
        MapiMessage message = pst.extractMessage(messageEntryId);
    }
    for (FolderInfo subFolder : folder.getSubFolders()) {
        getAllMessages(pst, subFolder);
    }
}

API Reference: TraversalExceptionsCallback Class

I wrote the same but the breakpoint not hitting at TraversalExceptionsCallback.

TraversalExceptionsCallback exceptionsCallback = new TraversalExceptionsCallback() {
@Override
public void invoke(final TraversalAsposeException exception, final String itemId) {
Logger.Log(“Attempting to extract folder '” + itemId + “’ from pst.”);
}
};

When it failed at this place, it should hit TraversalExceptionCallBack but it is not hitting there.
Iterator iterable = folder.enumerateMessagesEntryId().iterator();
