Getting messages from partially-incorrect .pst

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

It's continuation of Issue 35.

Our management asks to remove "fixing" for .pst with scanpst utility from the 
process of getting messages from the message base.

Outlook probably has another algorithm to pass message tree even some nodes 
have partially-incoirrect information.

I've tried to get message list via open Microsoft library:

urce-out

http://pstsdk.codeplex.com/

"pstdir.exe" sample tool and it returns full list of messages on unfixed .pst 
file.

But for us is inconvenient to use C++. Is it possible to realize same 
functionality for your Java API?

Regards,
Maxim

I guess we could read through the descriptor tree and get a listing that way as 
a fallback.  This was the original way the library did its thing before we 
discovered the "correct" way.

Will have a look into this when I next have some time free.

Do you have any forecasts about time of fixing this issue?

Hi Maxim,

I've just committed some work to SVN which should help read the children of 
folders with corrupted child listing tables.

Please have a look over it and let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Richard
