Filter messages

 MS Outlook allows to filter messages inside folders by some text value from message content and by part of the sender’s or recipient’s address.

GroupDocs.Viewer also allows filtering the rendered messages using the following filters:

• Filter by subject and content using setTextFilter(…)
• Filter by the sender’s and recipient’s email addresses using setAddressFilter(…)

As an example, when setting setTextFilter(…) as Microsoft the API will render all messages that contain the text Microsoft in the message’s subject or body. Whereas, setting setAddressFilter(…) as susan will filter messages that contain susan as a part of the sender’s or recipient’s address. The following code samples show how to filter the messages.

    Viewer viewer = new Viewer("sample.ost");
    HtmlViewOptions viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources();
    viewOptions.getOutlookOptions().setTextFilter("Microsoft");
    viewOptions.getOutlookOptions().setAddressFilter("susan");
    viewer.view(viewOptions);
    viewer.close();
