Fastest way to backup selected messages and loading it back(C++ COM addin)

[Anthony Yio]

Hello,

Can any gurus here shed a light on this topic. I would like to be able
to selectively backup my outlook items (any type) into few files or some
kind of format, and then be able select which to be loaded back. I need the
method to be very fast and efficient cause it (the operation save/load) will
be called for many times.

I know that I can use SaveAs for (*.MSG type) the outlook item to back up my
stuff and then load it back using Redemption. But is this the fastest and
efficient route that I should be going to? Or the Outlook itself has a
build in function for this purpose and can be used through VBA, CDO,
Redemption or MAPI extension?

My project is C++ COM add in by the way.

thank you

Regards,
Anthony Yio

No, Outlook does not have any backup API. How and where you store/restore
the backup messages is totally up to you.
