Hi
is there any way to identify if a pst is password protected.

my tool runs in batch mode and for password protected pst it prompts for
password which i dont want , instead i can afford to move such pst to error
directory and move on to next pst.

while adding pst to existing profile.
i guess ConfigureMsgService prompt for password ?

can we detect if a pst if password protected ?

Thanks in advance
Sachin

There are at least a few PST crackers out there that can be
automated. I'd recommend just incorporating one into your process.

isnt there any MAPI property from which we can check it

Or at least can we avoid the prompt which ask for password ?

No, there is no such property.
