MAPI proptag reference?

[billm...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

Is there a reference available that lists all properties available in
the http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/ namespace? In
particular I'm looking for properties that might not be completely
obvious, such as Free/Busy data, etc.

For example, this property returns the "Start of Publish Range" date
for F/B:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/x68470003

Anybody know where I can find a complete list of properties?

Thanks!
Bill

Hello Bill,

AFAIK, there is none.

You can find some in the MSDN documentation. Others on
www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm.

I have another bunch of definitions in my InfiniTec.Exchange package
(available from my website, www.infinitec.de. Take a look in the
wellknownproperties.cs file). And if you download Mistaya from my website,
it contains an xml file with plenty of definitions and their corresponding
MAPI name.

Kind regards,
Henning Krause

For information on the Freebusy properties I would suggest having a read of
http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2004/06/02/146939.aspx which is about the
most detailed reference around on Free/Busy Info and includes most of Tag
used. Also http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454438.aspx lists
most of the common tags. Personally I always rely on using a Mapi editor
like OutlookSpy or MFCmapi to work out any tags.

Thanks Henning! I took a look at those files and they were very
helpful.

If a complete MAPI property reference isn't available, is it possible
to return all properties for a message, including extended MAPI
properties that might not be documented? I would like to query a Free/
Busy message (in the Schedule Plus folder) to see all the properties
it has, especially undocumented ones.

Thanks!
Bill

No but the compare feature of OutlookSpy is what i've used in the past to
solve these type of problems eg it should show which properties are
different or missing on a existing item that does work to the one your
trying to create. Are you trying to create a freebusy object from a existing
mailbox or mailboxes from a foreign connector ?

OutlookSpy's compare feature sounds like exactly what I'm looking for,
I'll try that out ASAP. Much thanks for the tip! I've been using
MDBVU32 and it's not exactly what I'd call user-friendly.

I'm basically trying to build my own calendar connector, so I'm
building F/B messages for users that don't have mailboxes in Exchange.

Cheers
Bill

There's a newer low-level "poking around" tool, mfcmapi, written by one
of the MS support guys:

http://www.codeplex.com/MFCMAPI

It's still doing Extended MAPI, so it can only ever be so much
friendlier, mind you..

Hi Glen,

shed some light on Free/Busy properties. I've actually been
successfully writing Free/Busy properties into existing F/B messages
