C++ API to Export EMAIL to ODT
Transform EMAIL to ODT within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to add email conversion features inside your applications. Email conversion is a process of transforming an email file format into another format. This process is useful for archiving emails, migrating emails from one platform to another, or for creating a backup of emails.
How Aspose.Total Helps for Email to ODT Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that provides developers with the ability to create, manipulate, and convert various file formats. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to convert an EMAIL file format to HTML and then export HTML to ODT.
Aspose.Email for C++ is a powerful API that enables developers to read, write, and convert email messages in various formats. It supports a wide range of email file formats, including EML, MSG, MHTML, and EMLX. With this API, developers can easily convert an EMAIL file format to HTML.
Aspose.Words for C++ is a powerful API that enables developers to create, manipulate, and convert documents in various formats. It supports a wide range of document formats, including DOC, DOCX, ODT, and HTML. With this API, developers can easily export HTML to ODT.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, developers can easily convert an EMAIL file format to HTML and then export HTML to ODT. This suite of APIs provides developers with the ability to create, manipulate, and convert various file formats, making it an ideal choice for developers looking to add email conversion features inside their applications.
C++ API to Convert EMAIL to ODT
- Open EMAIL file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert EMAIL to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to ODT format using Save method and set Odt as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load the EMAIL file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.msg");
// save EMAIL as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Odt as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Odt");
Parse EMAIL File via C++
Not only you can convert your EMAIL to ODT, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EMAIL document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.msg");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict ODT File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EMAIL to ODT. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Odt");
