Unable to get properties for pst file folders no properties for Folder Create Date or Folder Edit Date

Hi,

We are unable to get the Create Date and Edit Date for Folders in a pst file

Using these properties
MapiPropertyTag.PR_CREATION_TIME
MapiPropertyTag.PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME

We read a pst file and store all data on a SQL Server Db . The Creation date and Edits values for folders are null.

Does anyone know how we can get these dates.

Thanks

It appears you are experiencing difficulties retrieving the creation and modification dates for folders in a PST file using the MAPI properties PR_CREATION_TIME and PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME. If these properties are returning null, it may be due to the specific implementation of the PST file or the structure of the folders.

To troubleshoot this issue, consider the following steps:

  1. Check Folder Properties: Verify that the folders you are querying actually have these properties set. Some folders may not have creation or modification dates available.

  2. Use Alternative Properties: If the standard properties are not yielding results, consider exploring other MAPI properties that might provide relevant information, such as PR_CONTENT_COUNT or PR_CHILD_COUNT, which can offer insights into folder activity.

  3. Update Aspose.Email: Ensure you are using the latest version of Aspose.Email, as updates may include bug fixes or enhancements related to MAPI property handling.

  4. Debugging: Implement logging to capture the properties of the folders you are accessing. This can help determine if the properties are missing or if there is an issue with how they are being accessed.

If you continue to encounter issues, consider reaching out to the Aspose support forums for more specific guidance related to your implementation.
