New Features and Enhancements

Extracting Attachments from Messages within PST: Working with PST files is one of the key features of Aspose.Email API. It not only provides the capability to generate PST files, but also manipulate these for extraction of messages, appointments, calendar and other Outlook message types. This month’s release further enhances the capabilities of working with PST files by providing the feature of extracting message attachments without extracting the complete message first. Thus, attachments can be extracted directly from the email message using the Message summary information (MessageInfo) or unique string id of the message as shown in the following code sample.

Getting Parent Folder Information of a Message in PST: This month’s release also includes an enhancement of accessing a message’s parent folder information in a PST. This can be achieved using the GetParentFolderInfo of the PersonalStorage class. The API uses the message’s summary information object, MessageInfo, or the stringId of the message for retrieving the message’s parent folder information.

Setting MapiCalendar Timezone Information: Aspose.Email API now provides the capability to initialize a calendar’s time zone information from standard Time zone object provided by the .NET framework. The overloaded member of MapiCalendarTimezone can be used to initialize a calendar’s timezone to local time zone object. Please note that this feature is available in .NET 3.5 and above.

Provision of Including Special Characters in Folder Names: Aspose.Email’s Exchange Web Service (EWS) API already provides the capability of creating folders and sub-folders in an Exchange Mailbox. However, the API had an issue while creating a folder name with “/” in it. It resulted in creating sub-folder after the “/”. This month’s release now provides IEWSClient.UseSlashAsFolderSeparate property to treat slash as folder separator and create sub-folder in mailbox.
