Load MSG into PST

[MON205]

Hello,
I want to load a stand alone MSG file (on disk) into Outlook. To do this, I
tried using the CreateItemFromTemplate() function. This always return
"invalid argument" when trying to pass a folder as the second argument. To go
over this, I tried ignoring the second parameter. Now, the MSG loaded into
the DRAFTS folder. Another time, I went over this by moving the mail to the
Inbox. Also, the Message Dates changed (creation / Delivery). These dates can
be updated.
The problem now that the MSG appaers as "not sent". I tried setting the
(0xF402) property using OutlookSPY, but that didn't change anything. Also
Redemption.RDOMail.put_Sent() returned "0x8004011a"!!!!!
Any help?

How exactly did you call CreateItemFromTemplate?
RDOMail.Sent can be set only before the message is saved for the very first
time, otherwise you will get the MAPI_E_COMPUTED error.
If oyu are using Redemption, why do you even need
Namespace.CreateItemFromTemplate?
Something like the following will do the trick:

set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
set Folder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(...)
set Msg = Folder.Items.Add
Msg.Sent = true
Msg.Import(..., olMsg)
Msg.Save

1. How exactly did you call CreateItemFromTemplate?
pInboxFolder = m_spApp->GetNamespace( "MAPI" ).GetDefaultFolder(
Outlook:lFolderInbox );
MSG = m_spApp->CreateItemFromTemplate( TEXT( "f:\\test.msg" ), _variant_t(
pInboxFolder ) );
// Here a E_INVALIDARG exception raise

2. Importing using Redemption succeeded. I noticed that the dates are the
same as the original message, is there any property that I should set
manually as the "Sent"?

3. I think that the Redemption is a great library, but I think that it needs
more work on the documentation.

Thanks Dmitry

1. How did you declare pInboxFolder?
2. No, unless you want to overwrite whatever teh MSG file has or if you want
to add a property not in teh MSG file.
3. That's what the newsgroups are for

Now it is 1-0 for you
About the "pInboxFolder", GetDefaultFolder() returns a smart pointer
"MAPIFolderPtr" when passin this smart pointer, the exception raised. Also I
tried passing "pInbox.GetInterfacePtr( )" to pass the interface, the function
succeeded but the message added to the Drafts folder.
