Questions about the library #12

Closed rourion closed 9 years ago

rourion commented 9 years ago

Hello -- I've built the Python bindings per documentation and have been familiarizing myself with pypff capabilities. I cannot find a way to do some tasks I'd like to and I'm not sure if it is because the library does not support the specific operations or because I am unfamiliar with it.

Specifically, I'd like to read the unique ID for every message in a PST (the 'StoreID') and identify the names or, better yet, metadata of any message attachments. Thank you for any information you can share regarding these questions.

So pypff is still work in progress (also see: https://github.com/libyal/libpff/issues/2) I basically lack the time at the moment, but still planning to complete it and get it used into another project I'm involved with.

So a pst file is basically a MAPI database and for more info on MAPI values see (https://googledrive.com/host/0B3fBvzttpiiSRlR1QkU5Vk43ZWs/MAPI%20definitions.pdf)

I understand, thank you for all your efforts. I will look at your resource and familiarize myself with the data structure.
