Read and parse file .PST (Outlook)
Hi all,
I want to read the Outlook file .pst and extract from its all item.
Is there anybody know it?
I try with the new add-on of VS2005 but I must run Outlook and I don't want it, I'll wold like to read the file and extract all item without lunch the app.
Thx to all for your help.

What you are looking to do will be rather difficult as there is no built in .NET mechanism for reading a .pst file, nor is the format officially documented by Microsoft.
Instead to do so you would be forced to rely on reverse engineering the format yourself or using someone else’s... something I have been unable to find.
hi
You have to use the third party dll. Using that dll you can get Mail item,attachment,contacts,calanders etc seperatly, I have develped a programm that to genarate eml format( i.e outlook express) form a given pst file. I have the source code . I can not give it because i have to get the licience
