3.1.1.2 Contents Table

A contents table contains information about the Message objects contained in a folder. Each row of a contents table contains a set of columns with information about one Message object. A contents table is implemented by message store providers and is used primarily by clients and to show the messages contained in a folder.

The following are the four types of contents tables:

A standard contents table contains only standard (non-FAI) messages. A FAI contents table contains only FAI messages. For more information about FAI messages, see [MS-OXCMSG] section 1.3.2. The soft-deleted views contain only messages that have been soft deleted.

A contents table is obtained by using the RopGetContentsTable ROP ([MS-OXCROPS] section 2.2.4.14).
