Hi Sue,
Can we know the structure of PST? How emails are stored within a PST and
what happens with deleted emails? Basically I have to write a program to
recover permanently deleted emails. Please let me know if there is any
relevent information. Thanks in advance.
 
The structure of .pst files is undocumented.

Hi Sue

Is there any interface or API in existence that will allow email extraction
from a PST file?

Basically, we want to extract emails from a .PST to load into a different
system, the key is getting to those emails.

Is this possible?
 
Yes, the usual suspects: The Outlook object model, CDO, Redemption, Extended MAPI. I'm also heard of a third-party API that does not require Outlook, but does require $$$$$, but it was so ridiculously expensive as to be not worth jotting down the URL.
