Working with MapiNote in PST

Adding MapiNote 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 a MapiNote to the Notes subfolder of a PST file that you have created or loaded.

Below are the steps to add MapiNote to a PST:

1. Create a template MapiNote using Microsoft Outlook and save it as an MSG file.
2. Load saved MSG note into MapiMessage object.
3. Create a MapiNote object and load the template MSG note.
4. Set the MapiNote properties using different methods.
5. Create a PST using the PersonalStorage.create() method.
6. Create a pre-defined folder (Notes) 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 MapiNote and then add it to the Notes 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
MapiMessage mess = MapiMessage.fromFile(dataDir + "Note.msg");

// Note #1
MapiNote note1 = (MapiNote) mess.toMapiMessageItem();
note1.setSubject("Yellow color note");
note1.setBody("This is a yellow color note");

// Note #2
MapiNote note2 = (MapiNote) mess.toMapiMessageItem();
note2.setSubject("Pink color note");
note2.setBody("This is a pink color note");
note2.setColor(NoteColor.Pink);

// Note #3
MapiNote note3 = (MapiNote) mess.toMapiMessageItem();
note2.setSubject("Blue color note");
note2.setBody("This is a blue color note");
note2.setColor(NoteColor.Blue);
note3.setHeight(500);
note3.setWidth(500);

PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.create(dataDir + "MapiNoteToPST_out.pst", FileFormatVersion.Unicode);
FolderInfo notesFolder = pst.createPredefinedFolder("Notes", StandardIpmFolder.Notes);
notesFolder.addMapiMessageItem(note1);
notesFolder.addMapiMessageItem(note2);
notesFolder.addMapiMessageItem(note3);
