Hi Amol,

Thank you for using Aspose.Email.

Please try the following code at your end which adds a MapiCalendar object to a subfolder of Calendar. I get no error using the following code and get the desired results. Please let us know if we could be of any additional help to you in this regard.

Sample Code:

PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.Create("TestPst.pst", FileFormatVersion.Unicode);
FolderInfo fi = pst.CreatePredefinedFolder("Calendar", StandardIpmFolder.Appointments);
FolderInfo fi2 = fi.AddSubFolder("Calendar2", fi.ContainerClass);

// Create the appointment
MapiCalendar appointment = new MapiCalendar(
    "LAKE ARGYLE WA 6743",
    "Appointment",
    "This is a very important meeting :)",
    DateTime.Now,
    DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
);

fi2.AddMapiMessageItem(appointment);
pst.Dispose();

Hi Amol,


This is not possible even through Outlook. To observe this, open your Outlook, create a subfolder in Inbox folder, go to its properties and try to change its folder type to Calendar. You will see that Outlook gives an error “You can not create an item of this type in this folder”.

Please let us know if we can be of any additional help to you in this regard.

Hi

Thanks for your immediate reply.

The folder hierarchy which I told (Inbox- - >Calendar) can be created in outlook with no error.

I have added an attachment(inboxcalendar.png) which is screen shot of my pst.

Please let me know if any solution on such hierarchy.

Thanks

Hi Amol,

Please try the following code sample at your end. It should fulfill your requirements:

Sample Code:

PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.Create(“TestPst.pst”, FileFormatVersion.Unicode);
FolderInfo fiInbox = pst.CreatePredefinedFolder("Inbox", StandardIpmFolder.Inbox);
FolderInfo fiCal = fiInbox.AddSubFolder("Cal", "IPF.Appointment");
