Working with MapiTask in PST

Adding MapiTask 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 MapiTask to the Tasks subfolder of a PST file that you have created or loaded.

Below are the steps to add MapiTask to a PST:

1. Create a MapiTask object.
2. Set the MapiTask properties using constructor and different methods.
3. Create a PST using the PersonalStorage.create() method.
4. Create a pre-defined folder (Tasks) 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 MapiTask and then add it to the Tasks 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
MapiTask task = new MapiTask("To Do", "Just click and type to add new task", new Date(), new Date());
task.setPercentComplete(20);
task.setEstimatedEffort(2000);
task.setActualEffort(20);
task.setHistory(MapiTaskHistory.Assigned);
task.setLastUpdate(new Date());
task.getUsers().setOwner("Darius");
task.getUsers().setLastAssigner("Harkness");
task.getUsers().setLastDelegate("Harkness");
task.getUsers().setOwnership(MapiTaskOwnership.AssignersCopy);

PersonalStorage pst = PersonalStorage.create(dataDir + "TaskPST_out.pst", FileFormatVersion.Unicode);
FolderInfo taskFolder = pst.createPredefinedFolder("Tasks", StandardIpmFolder.Tasks);
taskFolder.addMapiMessageItem(task);
