" MapiContact contact1 = new MapiContact(“Sebastian Wright”, "SebastianWright@dayrep.com");
PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.create(dataDir + “MapiContactToPST_out.pst”, FileFormatVersion.Unicode);
FolderInfo contactFolder = pst.createPredefinedFolder(“Contacts”, StandardIpmFolder.Contacts);
contactFolder.addMapiMessageItem(contact1);
"

@wolfvain,

I suggest you to please visit following documentation articles. The first one provides the sample code for creating a message or email. The second one describe saving the message in PST. I hope this will suffice your requirements.

Hi I tried all that sample code i was able to run that already. What i need is how to message in the inbox.

Here is my sample code

PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.create(dataDir + “MapiContactToPST_out.pst”, FileFormatVersion.Unicode);

    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();


    MapiMessage mapiMessage = new MapiMessage();

    mapiMessage. setReplyTo("rodel@rodel.com");
    mapiMessage.setSubject("This is a demo Subject");
    mapiMessage.setBody("<b>This line is in bold.</b> <br/> <br/>\"\n" +
            "                + \"<font color=blue>This line is in blue color</font>\"");

    mapiMessage.getReplyTo();
    mapiMessage.getSubject();
    mapiMessage.getBodyHtml();



    FolderInfo inboxFolder = pst.createPredefinedFolder("myInbox", StandardIpmFolder.Inbox);
    //MapiMessage msg = MapiMessage.fromMailMessage();
    inboxFolder.addMessage(mapiMessage);


    // Create an instance of MapiMessage and load the MailMessag instance into it
     MapiMessage mapiMsg = MapiMessage.fromMailMessage(message);

    // Set the MapiMessageFlags as UNSENT and FROMME
     mapiMsg.setMessageFlags(MapiMessageFlags.MSGFLAG_UNSENT | MapiMessageFlags.MSGFLAG_FROMME);

    // Save the MapiMessage to disk

    pst.saveAs(dataDir + "MapiContactToPST_out.pst", FileFormatVersion.Unicode);
    //mapiMsg.save(dataDir + "New-Draft.msg");

What im trying to do is put message in the inbox.

@wolfvain,

Please observe the snapshot describing view of generated PST file opened in Outlook 2016. The message is available in myInbox folder. I have also attached, MapiContactToPST_out.zip (9.0 KB) for your reference as well.

Hi!

I was able to that but the mapiMessage. setReplyTo("rodel@rodel.com"); is not working its not showing any email address. It seems its not a email its just like a draft. How can we include the to email address too?

Thanks

Here is the code for saving it in the pst file.

MapiMessage mapiMessage2 = new MapiMessage();
mapiMessage2.setReplyTo("rodel@rodel.com");
mapiMessage2.setSubject(“This is a demo Subject 2”);
mapiMessage2.setBody(“This is the demo email content to be save in the email demo only 2”);

    FolderInfo inboxFolder = pst.createPredefinedFolder("Inbox", StandardIpmFolder.Inbox);
    inboxFolder.addMessage(mapiMessage);
    inboxFolder.addMessage(mapiMessage2);

When i open the message in the outlook the TO field blank.

Thanks

@wolfvain,

Please add following statement in your application to serve the purpose.

mapiMessage.getRecipients().add("rodel @rodel.com", "Rodel", MapiRecipientType.MAPI_TO);
mapiMessage.getRecipients().add("rodel @rodel2.com", "Rodel2", MapiRecipientType.MAPI_CC);
