PST without foldering won't extract messages

Aspose.Email Product Family
#1

Using Aspose Email for Java we’re encountering client created PSTs (some from Office365 Legal Hold Export [https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158/t/248944 ](https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158/t/248944)) that do not have the emails stored within a folder. Rather it looks like they’ve stored the emails in the “root” of the PST. Aspose Email thinks these PSTs are empty.

We were able to take a PST from the Enron dataset and move the messages from the INBOX to the root to re-create the issue. File is attached.

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

Thank you for contacting Aspose Support team.

We have tested your sample PST with the latest version of Aspose.Email for Java 6.2.0 and were not able to face the issue you have shared with us. The following code sample shows the correct number of items at the root folder of the PST. Please try the following code at your end with the latest version of the API and share your feedback with us for further assistance.

Sample Code:

PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.fromFile(“692316\albert_meyers_000_1_root.pst”);

System.out.println(pst.getRootFolder().getContentCount());

Ah yes you’re correct. So I took another look at my code and I split the PSTs into chunks before loading them up. Turns out the error is in the split PSTs. Somehow the splitting process doesn’t include the messages at the root of the PST.

PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.fromFile("692316\\albert_meyers_000_1_root.pst");
System.out.println(pst.getRootFolder().getContentCount());

// Set up chunk dir
File chunksLocation = new File("/tmp/chunks");
chunksLocation.mkdirs();

// Split PST (any number of chunks)
try {
    pst.splitInto(50000000, chunksLocation.getPath());
} finally {
    pst.dispose();
}

for(File file: chunksLocation.listFiles()) {
    PersonalStorage pstPart = PersonalStorage.fromFile(file.getPath());
    System.out.println(pstPart.getRootFolder().getContentCount());
}
