Hi All,

Recently, Microsoft released the specification for PST files making
them an "open" format.
Yeah!

There is also a SDK available for reading the pst files. My question,
does anyone know of a SDK which implements creating and writing items
to a PST.

The only SDK I found is here:
http://pstsdk.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=quick_start_devs&referringTitle=Home

Specifically, I am trying to ingest a huge number of email messages
which exist outside of outlook as .msg files and am considering
creating a PST file with them OR opening the .msg files with Extended
MAPI and copying them to a folder in the user's inbox.

I do not particularly care for the option with Extended MAPI as I had
horrendous performance issues with the whole OpenIMsgOnIStg() family
of methods in the past.

best regards,
movalgirl
