New Post: Archive mailbox in mailbox table

GuoZ — Sat, 11 May 2013 07:19:26 GMT

Hi there,

You may know that GetMailbxTable in MFCMAPI returns both primary mailboxes and archive mailboxes. I checked all the properties of a mailbox and it seems no properties to flag whether a primary or archive mailbox. I cannot find any any clue in the MAPI reference either.

Could anyone give me clue?

Thanks in advance!

I'm experiencing this same issue, but trying to delete the to-do-search folder.(Hard Delete). What exactly do you mean that the user was on another list?

New Post: Recoverable Items

rcrane — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:43:24 GMT

I had already read a few articles on Single Item Recover, but I read it anyways. It was helpful. Not much detail on using MFCMAPI, but enough to get the job done. I had tried using OWA to recover the items, but there are over 900. Employee left company, & company wants deleted items. Outlook 2003 did not provide the function in the tool bar to recover deleted files. Not sure why, checked registry setting. It is enabled. I thought that there might be a way thru the Exchange Console or Shell to do it, though I have not found it yet. Possibly using the search function? Something to look into more in depth. The MFCMAPI tool did the job. Glad that I found it.

Thanks for the help!

Looking for in depth information on using MFCMAPI to recover emails in Recoverable Items. I need to recover all emails within this folder, and want to do it correctly. I've searched for any info on this, but I have not found anything. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

New Post: How to Use MAPI restore the email form the exchange backup database?

sgriffin — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:44:52 GMT

Please don't pollute my bug database. MFCMAPI doesn't do anything with Exchange databases. MAPI doesn't do anything with Exchange databases. Like I said, if you want to look at an Exchange database, you need to put the database back into Exchange.

Your question is about Exchange 2010 backup and restore. Here's a Bing search to get you started:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=exchange+2010+restore+backup

I'll give you a hint though - you don't back up Exchange databases by copying the .edb files. Read this thread to get an idea why:

  Then
      SPropValue       spv;
     spv.ulPropTag = PR_PST_PATH;
    spv.Value.lpszA = (LPSTR)lpPstfile;
    hr = pMsgSvcAdmin->ConfigureMsgService((LPMAPIUID)pRowset->aRow[pRowset->cRows-1].lpProps[iSvcUID].Value.bin.lpb, 0,0,1,&spv);

but I don't Know what I should do with the exchang database(EG: Mailbox Database 1117657611.edb) file.

Please kindly help.

MFCMAPI has no capability to mount an Exchange store. If you want MFCMAPI to view this data, put it back into Exchange and get it into a mailbox you can point a profile at.

I had this issue with a similar user. We could not delete her flagged items because of the same error you got with the exception of line 950.
It turned out that she was on another list in which she was retaining all emails. Once we removed her from that list (temporarily) we were able to then delete the folder containing her flagged items (tasks). After doing so we had the user restart Outlook and it successfully repopulated the tasks with not only her old tasks but the ones she was flagging while we were trying to figure out the issue.
Hope this helps!

So this "new" facility that I was unfamiliar with is six years old.

I think you should delete this thread. Thank you very much for your help.

New Post: Unable to read other user's calendar

RenniePet — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:25:20 GMT

OK, I think we're finally on to something here. (And I'll say once again how much I appreciate all your help and time.)

What Outlook is showing for these other users does include subject and location, but you are right that it is not really information gotten directly from that user's calendar. If I double-click on one of these appointments I get "You do not have permission to view this calendar. Do you want to ask Harry Potter to share his or her Calendar with you?"

I can also see when I right-click on my own calendar and select Properties and look at the Permissions tab, that by default I am granting user "Default" a permission level of "Free/Busy time, subject, location". This is presumably the default setup for all users on this system. And this level of permission does not actually provide any access to the user's calendar datastore, right?

So I have a "solution": tell my customer that he has to change all of the mailboxes to provide "reviewer" calendar permission to the account my program runs under. I had assumed that this was the case, but was wrong. So to some extent this whole thread has been based on a misunderstanding, and I apologize.

But now that I finally understand, to some extent, what is going on, I'm curious as to what this is that Outlook is displaying and how it gets it. This is not the old-fashioned free/busy info that used to be in Exchange's public store, and has been depricated, right? This is some new kind of super-free/busy info? Is it documented somewhere? Can MFCMAPI display it? How can I query Exchange for it? I'd like to offer this in my "calendar connector" program as an alternative to the full-blown calendar-based access that needs reviewer permission granted.

This makes it even more likely that the mailboxes are broken. This is not to besmirch the folks that did the migration. This particular problem is quite common with migrated data.

Outlook has no problems showing these other users' calendars. (I can send you a screen shot...)
A thought - are you sure Outlook is actually showing you the details from these other user's calendars? Outlook has a fallback mechanism for when it can't get the Calendar folder. It takes the information published in the user's Free/Busy and "fakes" a calendar, which for many purposes is good enough. You can tell when you're getting this fake calendar because you can't get any details, like subject, locations, or meeting notes.

Thank you for your reply.

It's very unclear how you would ever be able to access this user's calendar folder using Outlook.

I doubt very much that these mailboxes are "broken". It is a consistent problem with all of the mailboxes I've tried. This is a new installation that switched from Lotus Notes two weeks ago, and is set up by professional people.

I've been informed that there are actually two Exchange Servers involved, set up for load balancing, and the server name specified in the mail profile is a kind of alias that implies access to them both. Can this have anything to do with the difficulty of finding the calendars with MFCMAPI?

May I ask a very general question? Like I've said, I always figure that if Outlook can do something then MFCMAPI (and by reverse-engineering and steal.., I mean borrowing, then ultimately my program) should also be able to do it. But are there any "MAPI trace" tools available so that one can gain insight into exactly what Outlook has said to Exchange, and what Exchange replied?

Thank you.

What you've confirmed by looking at PR_IPM_APPOINTMENT_ENTRYID is that it is definitely wrong on that user's mailbox. It's very unclear how you would ever be able to access this user's calendar folder using Outlook. Here's one more command line switch that might reset the property: \CleanFreeBusy. Keep in mind that the owner of the target mailbox is the one that needs to run this, as their mailbox is the one which is broken.

Thanks for bearing with me ...

try expanding the Root Container folder and see if you can drill down to the Calendar.

I assume you mean double-click on "Root Container", or use Actions - Open contents table. Doing this results in two error dialogs:

Error:
Code: MAPI_E_NO_ACCESS == 0x80070005
Function lpContentsTable->GetRowCount( NULL, &ulTotal)
File ContentsTableListCtrl.cpp
Line 647

Error:
Code: MAPI_E_NO_ACCESS == 0x80070005
Function lpContentsTable->QueryRows( (ulThrottleLevel)?ulThrottleLevel:NUMROWSPERLOOP, NULL, &pRows)
File ContentsTableListCtrl.cpp
Line 701

Or try looking at the Root Container object and locate the PR_IPM_APPOINTMENT_ENTRYID property. You can right click on that property and pick "Open as entry ID of object".

The good news is that there is indeed a PR_IPM_APPOINTMENT_ENTRYID property in the root container. The bad news is that if I do what you say then I get this error:

Error:
Code: MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND == 0x8004010F

File BaseDialog.cpp
Line 805

I think these are the relevant lines from the log file:

Should I be specifying some options on that right-click menu?
