Inside the PST

As Paul Thurrott notes, we just announced that we’re documenting the PST file structure . I haven’t decided yet if I’ll be writing a standalone parser/viewer/validator, but I’m sure I’ll be adding some interesting stuff to MFCMAPI . I’ll let you know

OpenStreamOnFile vs Unicode Files

Detecting Sharepoint PSTs

We had a customer recently who was asking how to tell a PST had been configured as a Sharepoint PST, so they could exclude it from some processing they were doing. After some digging, I found the property that Outlook itself uses to determine a PST is

Outlook 2010 MAPI Reference Updated

The Outlook 2010 MAPI Reference has been updated. I don’t have a list of everything that changed, so I’ll highlight one addition that’s pretty cool: the property definition stream . Long time readers might remember I mentioned this property before – it’s

Your Cache is No Good Here

The first time we saw this, we wrote it off as an odd thing one customer did. But we’ve seen it a few times over the past couple years and it deserves some discussion. The issue is with Exchange Client Extensions (remember – they’re dead in 2010 !): Customers

Mapi32.lib and 64 Bit MAPI Programs

I’m in the process of updating the Outlook 2007 MAPI Samples for Outlook 2010 and ran into something that deserves some clarification. Suppose you have a 32 bit application which uses MAPI and which links in mapi32.lib. In preparation for 64 bit MAPI,

I noticed something about downloading/installing the Outlook 2010 MAPI headers . I use Windows Server 2008 as my development machine, and when I ran the installer, which is really a self extracting zip file, it offered to copy the headers to “C:\Program
