Working with MapiTask in PST

Adding MapiTask to PST

Create a New PST File and Add Subfolders 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 following code snippet shows you how to create a MapiTask and then add it to the tasks folder of a newly created PST file.

task = MapiTask("To Do", "Just click and type to add new task", dt.datetime.now(), dt.datetime.today() + timedelta(days=3))
task.percent_complete = 20
task.estimated_effort = 2000
task.actual_effort = 20
task.history = MapiTaskHistory.ASSIGNED
task.last_update = dt.datetime.now()
task.users.owner = "Darius"
task.users.last_assigner = "Harkness"
task.users.last_delegate = "Harkness";
task.users.ownership = MapiTaskOwnership.ASSIGNERS_COPY

personalStorage = PersonalStorage.create(dataDir + "AddMapiTaskToPST_out.pst", FileFormatVersion.UNICODE)

tasksFolder = personalStorage.create_predefined_folder("Tasks", StandardIpmFolder.TASKS)
tasksFolder.add_mapi_message_item(task)

personalStorage.dispose()
