How to create and access (add/delete mails) .PST file at runtime?

[ksskumar]

Hi,

I need to store selected mails into some different .pst file at
runtime. Also want to access those mails in .pst at runtime. I can
import and export mails into .MSG file. But it is hard to maintain
mails as .msg files.

My queries are,

1. How to create/open .PST file at runtime ?
2. How to add/delete (import/export) mails (any format like .MSG,
..EML, etc.,) into .PST at runtime ?

Is there any way to handle this kind of situation thru Outlook object
model or CDO or Extended MAPI or Redemption or any other way?

Thanks in advance

with best regards,
Kumar

1. Use Namespace.AddStore/RemoveStore
2. To save in the MSG format, call
MailItem.SaveAs "path" olMsg
EML files are not directly supported by Outlook; you'd have to either
programmatically create EML files from the message properties using Extended
MAPI or CDO 1.21 (OOM is not really up to the task) or <plug> you can use
Redemption (url in my sig.) - see SafeMailItem.SaveAs ..., olRFC822 and
SafeMailItem.Import ..., olRFC822 </plug>
