Working with MapiJournal in PST

Adding MapiJournal to PST

With Aspose.Email you can add MapiJournal to hte Journal subfolder of a PST file that you have created or loaded. Below are the steps to add MapiJournal to a PST:

1. Create a MapiJournal object
2. Set the MapiJournal properties using a constructor and methods.
3. Create a PST using the PersonalStorage.Create() method.
4. Create a pre-defined folder (Journals) at the root of the PST file by accessing the root folder and then calling the AddMapiMessageItem() method.

The following code snippet shows you how to create a MapiJournal and then add it to the journal folder of a newly created PST file.

System::String dataDir = RunExamples::GetDataDir_Outlook();
System::SharedPtr<MapiJournal> journal = System::MakeObject<MapiJournal>(L"daily record", L"called out in the dark", L"Phone call", L"Phone call");
journal->set_StartTime(System::DateTime::get_Now());
journal->set_EndTime(journal->get_StartTime().AddHours(1));
    
System::String path = dataDir + L"CreateNewMapiJournalAndAddToSubfolder_out.pst";
    
if (System::IO::File::Exists(path))
{
    System::IO::File::Delete(path);
}
    
{
    System::SharedPtr<PersonalStorage> personalStorage = PersonalStorage::Create(dataDir + L"CreateNewMapiJournalAndAddToSubfolder_out.pst", Aspose::Email::Outlook::Pst::FileFormatVersion::Unicode);
    System::SharedPtr<FolderInfo> journalFolder = personalStorage->CreatePredefinedFolder(L"Journal", Aspose::Email::Outlook::Pst::StandardIpmFolder::Journal);
    journalFolder->AddMapiMessageItem(journal);
}

The following code snippet shows you how to add attachments to MapiJournal.

For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/kashifiqb/Aspose.Email-for-C
System::String dataDir = RunExamples::GetDataDir_Outlook();
    
System::ArrayPtr<System::String> attachFileNames = System::MakeArray<System::String>({dataDir + L"Desert.jpg", dataDir + L"download.png"});
    
System::SharedPtr<MapiJournal> journal = System::MakeObject<MapiJournal>(L"testJournal", L"This is a test journal", L"Phone call", L"Phone call");
journal->set_StartTime(System::DateTime::get_Now());
journal->set_EndTime(journal->get_StartTime().AddHours(1));
journal->set_Companies(System::MakeArray<System::String>({L"company 1", L"company 2", L"company 3"}));
    
    
{
    for (int i_ = 0; i_ < attachFileNames->Count(); ++i_)
    {
        System::String attach = attachFileNames[i_];
        {
            journal->get_Attachments()->Add(attach, System::IO::File::ReadAllBytes(attach));
        }
    }
}
journal->Save(dataDir + L"AddAttachmentsToMapiJournal_out.msg");
