Aspose.Email for Java simplifies the conversion process, providing users with an efficient and user-friendly API that can be easily implemented into their Java application and enhance its functionality.
To implement PST to MHTML conversion functionality into a Java application, the library offers the PersonalStorage class which is used to open a storage file, allowing access to its content and structure. The FolderInfo class represents a folder within the storage file and makes it possible to manipulate its content. The MapiMessage class provides developers with a comprehensive set of functionalities to work with email messages programmatically, enabling them to efficiently manage, manipulate, and interact with email data within their Java applications. The SaveOptions class provides options for saving email messages in different formats. It allows for customization of the saving process based on the specific requirements. In the code sample below, these classes work together to open a PST file, create an output directory, retrieve messages from the Inbox folder, iterate through the messages, and save them as .mhtml files in the specified output directory.

What is PST File Format?
PST (Personal Storage Table) is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to store email messages, contacts, calendars, tasks, and other mailbox items. PST files function as a data storage container that allows users to access and manage their email data within Outlook. These files can be created and saved locally on a user’s computer or stored on a network server. PST files are commonly used for backing up email data, archiving old messages, and migrating email data between different computers or email clients. Additionally, PST files can be password-protected to enhance data security and privacy.
What is MHTML File Format?
The MHTML (MIME HTML) file format is a standard for archiving and saving web pages or email messages as a single file. It combines HTML content and resources such as images, stylesheets, and scripts into a self-contained document, making it easier to share and preserve the original layout and appearance of the content. MHTML files are often used for offline viewing, archiving, or sharing web pages or emails with all their components intact.
