Working with MapiJournal in PST

Adding MapiJournal to PST

Create New PST, Add Sub-folders and Messages showed how to create a PST file and add a subfolder to it. With Aspose.Email you can add MapiJournal to the 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 code snippet below shows how to create a MapiJournal and then add it to the Journal folder of a newly created PST file.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-email/Aspose.Email-for-Java
Date d1 = new Date();
Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance();
cl.setTime(d1);
cl.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
Date d2 = cl.getTime();

MapiJournal journal = new MapiJournal("daily record", "called out in the dark", "Phone call", "Phone call");
journal.setStartTime(d1);
journal.setEndTime(d2);
PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.create(dataDir + "JournalPST_out.pst", FileFormatVersion.Unicode);
FolderInfo journalFolder = pst.createPredefinedFolder("Journal", StandardIpmFolder.Journal);
journalFolder.addMapiMessageItem(journal);

Adding Attachments to MapiJournal

It is also possible to add attachments to MAPI journal items. The code below shows how.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-email/Aspose.Email-for-Java
Date d1 = new Date();
Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance();
cl.setTime(d1);
cl.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
Date d2 = cl.getTime();

MapiJournal journal = new MapiJournal("daily record", "called out in the dark", "Phone call", "Phone call");
journal.setStartTime(d1);
journal.setEndTime(d2);

//Add companies Information
String[] companies = { "Company 1", "Company 2", "Company 3" };
journal.setCompanies(companies);

//Add attachments
String[] attachFileNames = new String[] { "1.png", "Invitation.doc", "logo.jpg" };
for (String att : attachFileNames) {
	//Load the attachment in a byte array
	File file = new File(dataDir + att);
	//FileInputStream fin = null;
	//fin = new FileInputStream(file);
	byte data[] = new byte[(int) file.length()];

	//Add the attachment to the Journal entry
	journal.getAttachments().add(att, data);
}

//Save the Journal Item as MSG file
journal.save(dataDir + "JournalWithAttachments_out.msg");
