I have this below code, which parses the email subject, what are the other params which i can parse through this?

const ae = require('@aspose/email');

const pst = ae.Storage.Pst.PersonalStorage.fromFile("outlook.pst");
const rootFolders = pst.rootFolder.getSubFolders();

for( folder of rootFolders) {
    console.log("Folder: ", folder.displayName);
    console.log("Total Items: ", folder.contentCount);
    console.log("Total Unread Items: ", folder.contentUnreadCount);
    console.log("----------------------");
    for(msg of folder.enumerateMessages()) {
        console.log("  ", msg.subject);
    }
}

I need to fetch all the details of each email, say From, To, cc, Bcc, attachments, inline images etc.

Hello @MaazHussain ,

Welcome to our support forum!

To parse additional properties of emails from the PST file using the @aspose/email library, you can fetch details like From, To, CC, BCC, Attachments, and inline images using the ae.MapiMessage class.

Here’s an example of how you can extract the requested properties:

const ae = require('@aspose/email');

const pst = ae.Storage.Pst.PersonalStorage.fromFile("outlook.pst");
const rootFolders = pst.rootFolder.getSubFolders();

for (const folder of rootFolders) {
    console.log("Folder: ", folder.displayName);
    console.log("Total Items: ", folder.contentCount);
    console.log("Total Unread Items: ", folder.contentUnreadCount);
    console.log("----------------------");

    for (const mapiMsg of folder.enumerateMapiMessages()) {
        console.log("Subject: ", mapiMsg.subject);

        // From
        console.log("From: ", mapiMsg.senderEmailAddress || "No Sender");

        // To Recipients
        console.log("To: ");
        for (const recipient of mapiMsg.recipients) {
            if (recipient.recipientType === ae.Mapi.MapiRecipientType.MAPI_TO) {
                console.log("  - ", recipient.emailAddress);
            }
        }

        // CC Recipients
        console.log("CC: ");
        for (const recipient of mapiMsg.recipients) {
            if (recipient.recipientType === ae.Mapi.MapiRecipientType.MAPI_CC) {
                console.log("  - ", recipient.emailAddress);
            }
        }

        // BCC Recipients
        console.log("BCC: ");
        for (const recipient of mapiMsg.recipients) {
            if (recipient.recipientType === ae.Mapi.MapiRecipientType.MAPI_BCC) {
                console.log("  - ", recipient.emailAddress);
            }
        }

        // Attachments
        console.log("Attachments:");
        for (const attachment of mapiMsg.attachments) {
            console.log("  - Name: ", attachment.displayName);
            // You can save the attachment to disk if needed
            //attachment.save("D:\\attach\\" + attachment.longFileName);
        }

        console.log("----------------------");
    }
}

Thank you @margarita.samodurova , this helped a lot. I still have 3 queries if you could help me with it.

  1. Do we have any documentation to find what all can be accessed from the ae.MapiMessage class.
  2. Im also looking to parse .olm files in a similar way, can you help me out with a base setup for that as well, and if we have documentation for the same kindly share that as well.
  3. Will it be possible to convert this NodeJS code into a plain javascript code, or is @aspose/email package is inherently designed for Node.js environments (Source: Using RollUp.js)

Hello @MaazHussain,

  1. Currently, you can use the API Reference for Aspose.Email for .NET: https://reference.aspose.com/email/net/aspose.email.mapi/mapimessage/. Please note that in the Node.js implementation, member names of the class start with lowercase.

  2. For parsing .olm files, you can use the following code snippet:

const ae = require('@aspose/email');

// Load the OLM file
const olm = ae.Storage.Olm.OlmStorage.fromFile("storage.olm");

const folders = olm.getFolders();

for (const folder of folders) {
    console.log(`Folder: ${folder.name}`);
    console.log(`Total Items: ${folder.messageCount}`);
    console.log('----------------------');

    // Enumerate messages in the folder
    for (const mapiMsg of folder.enumerateMapiMessages()) {
        // Process the MapiMessage here
    }
}
  1. Due to the integration of .NET AOT and the native Node.js environment, the @aspose/email package is not suitable for plain JavaScript. The recommended approach is to use it in a server-side Node.js environment.
