Long term IDs from PR_PARENT_ENTRYID

The PR_PARENT_ENTRYID value of a mail item when using a MAPITable seems
to be its short term ID. Is there a PR_LONGTERM_ENTRYID_FROM_TABLE
equivalent for the parent entry ID?

This problem only seems to be an issue for Exchange stores.

Strangely, OutlookSpy shows a long term entry ID under
PR_PARENT_ENTRYID for mail items. So I'm getting different values for
PR_PARENT_ENTRYID from OutlookSpy and a MAPITable.

For example, here is a PR_PARENT_ENTRYID from OutlookSpy:

00000000553D90F710ABF34FAF463CA7E9775B5401005CA9A01E1C105C44B3650616ED91E83A00000863EB0C0000

and here is the same property accessed via a MAPITable:

EF000000553D90F710ABF34FAF463CA7E9775B5482210000.

There also does not seem to be a property of the parent folder whose
value is equal to the entry ID from the MAPITable.


Is there any way that I can get the long term entry ID for a mail item
via MAPITable? Any hints about what is going on?

Thanks,
Adam

Sorry, I meant "...the long term entry ID for a mail item's parent via
MAPITable?"

Thanks.
 
Why would you want to retrieve the parent entry id through the contents or
the hierarchy table? By definition, all items in the table will have the
same parent entry id, which you can retrieve from the parent folder; it will
be just PR_ENTRYID
