OUTLOOK.PST(5)		 libpst Utilities - Version 0.6 	  OUTLOOK.PST(5)

NAME
     outlook.pst - format of MS Outlook .pst file

SYNOPSIS
     outlook.pst

OVERVIEW
     Low  level  or  primitive	items  in  a .pst file are identified by an I_ID
     value. Higher level or composite items in a .pst file are identified  by  a
     D_ID  value.  There are two separate b-trees indexed by these I_ID and D_ID
     values. Starting with Outlook 2003, the file format changed from  one  with
     32  bit  pointers,  to  one  with 64 bit pointers. We describe both formats
     here.

32 BIT FILE HEADER
     The 32 bit file header is located at offset 0 in the .pst file.

     We only support index types 0x0e, 0x0f,  0x15,  and  0x17,  and  encryption
     types 0x00, 0x01 and 0x02. Index type 0x0e is the older 32 bit Outlook for-
     mat.  Index  type	0x0f  seems  to be rare, and so far the data seems to be
     identical to that in type 0x0e files. Index type 0x17 is the newer  64  bit
     Outlook  format.  Index  type  0x15  seems to be rare, and according to the
     libpff project should have the same format as type 0x17 files. It was found
     in a 64-bit pst file created by Visual Recovery. It may be that index types
     less than 0x10 are 32 bit, and index types greater than or  equal	to  0x10
     are  64  bit, and the low order four bits of the index type is some subtype
     or minor version number.

     Encryption type 0x00 is no encryption, type 0x01 is "compressible"  encryp-
     tion  which  is a simple substitution cipher, and type 0x02 is "strong" en-
     cryption, which is a simple three rotor Enigma cipher from WWII.

     offsetIndex1 is the file offset of the root of  the  index1  b-tree,  which
     contains  (I_ID,  offset,	size, unknown) tuples for each item in the file.
     backPointer1 is the value that should appear in the parent pointer of  that
     root node.

     offsetIndex2  is  the  file  offset of the root of the index2 b-tree, which
     contains (D_ID, DESC-I_ID, TREE-I_ID, PARENT-D_ID) tuples for each item  in
     the  file.  backPointer2  is  the	value  that  should appear in the parent
     pointer of that root node.

64 BIT FILE HEADER
     The 64 bit file header is located at offset 0 in the .pst file.

     The  itemCount specifies the number of 12 byte records that are active. The
     nodeLevel is non-zero for this style of nodes. The leaf nodes have  a  dif-
     ferent  format.  The backPointer must match the backPointer from the triple
     that pointed to this node.

     Each item in this node is a triple of (I_ID, backPointer, offset) where the
     offset points to the next deeper node in the tree,  the  backPointer  value
     must match the backPointer in that deeper node, and I_ID is the lowest I_ID
     value in the subtree.

64 BIT INDEX 1 NODE
     The  64 bit index1 b-tree nodes are 512 byte blocks with the following for-
     mat.

     The itemCount specifies the number of 24 byte records that are active.  The
     nodeLevel	is  non-zero for this style of nodes. The leaf nodes have a dif-
     ferent format. The backPointer must match the backPointer from  the  triple
     that pointed to this node.

     Each item in this node is a triple of (I_ID, backPointer, offset) where the
     offset  points  to  the next deeper node in the tree, the backPointer value
     must match the backPointer in that deeper node, and I_ID is the lowest I_ID
     value in the subtree.

32 BIT INDEX 1 LEAF NODE
     The 32 bit index1 b-tree leaf nodes are 512 byte blocks with the  following
     format.

     The  itemCount specifies the number of 12 byte records that are active. The
     nodeLevel is zero for these leaf nodes.  The  backPointer	must  match  the
     backPointer from the triple that pointed to this node.

     Each  item in this node is a tuple of (I_ID, offset, size, unknown) The two
     low order bits of the I_ID value seem to be flags. I have never seen a case
     with bit zero set. Bit one indicates that the item is not	encrypted.  Note
     that  references  to these I_ID values elsewhere may have the low order bit
     set (and I don't know what that means), but when we do the search	in  this
     tree we need to clear that bit so that we can find the correct item.

     The  itemCount specifies the number of 12 byte records that are active. The
     nodeLevel is non-zero for this style of nodes. The leaf nodes have  a  dif-
     ferent  format.  The backPointer must match the backPointer from the triple
     that pointed to this node.

     Each item in this node is a triple of (D_ID, backPointer, offset) where the
     offset points to the next deeper node in the tree,  the  backPointer  value
     must match the backPointer in that deeper node, and D_ID is the lowest D_ID
     value in the subtree.

	 01f8  backPointer     [8 bytes] 0x000077   in this case

     The itemCount specifies the number of 32 byte records that are active.  The
     nodeLevel	is  zero  for  these  leaf nodes. The backPointer must match the
     backPointer from the triple that pointed to this node.

     Each item in this node is a tuple	of  (D_ID,  DESC-I_ID,	TREE-I_ID,  PAR-
     ENT-D_ID)	The  DESC-I_ID points to the main data for this item (Associated
     Descriptor Items 0x7cec, 0xbcec,  or  0x0101)  via  the  index1  tree.  The
     TREE-I_ID	is  zero or points to an Associated Tree Item 0x0002 via the in-
     dex1 tree. The PARENT-D_ID points to the parent of this item in this index2
     tree.

32 BIT ASSOCIATED TREE ITEM 0X0002
     A D_ID value may point to an entry in  the  index2  tree  with  a	non-zero
     TREE-I_ID	which  points  to  this descriptor block via the index1 tree. It
     maps local ID2 values (referenced in the main data for  the  original  D_ID
     item) to I_ID values. This descriptor block contains triples of (ID2, I_ID,
     CHILD-I_ID)  where the local ID2 data can be found via I_ID, and CHILD-I_ID
     is either zero or it points to another Associated Tree Item via the  index1
     tree.

     In  the  above  32  bit  leaf  node,  we  have  a tuple of (0x61, 0x02a82c,
     0x02a836, 0) 0x02a836 is the I_ID of the associated tree, and we can lookup

ASSOCIATED DESCRIPTOR ITEM 0XBCEC
     Contains information about the item, which may be email, contact, or  other
     outlook  types. In the above leaf node, we have a tuple of (0x21, 0x00e638,
     0, 0) 0x00e638 is the I_ID of the associated descriptor, and we can  lookup
     that  I_ID value in the index1 b-tree to find the (offset,size) of the data
     in the .pst file. This descriptor is eventually decoded to a list	of  MAPI
     elements.

	 0000  indexOffset     [2 bytes] 0x013c     in this case
	 0002  signature       [2 bytes] 0xbcec     constant
	 0004  b5offset        [4 bytes] 0x0020     index reference

     Note the signature of 0xbcec. There are other descriptor block formats with
     other  signatures.  Note the indexOffset of 0x013c - starting at that posi-
     tion in the descriptor block, we have an array of two  byte  integers.  The
     first  integer  (0x000b)  is a (count-1) of the number of overlapping pairs
     following the count. The first pair is (0, 0xc), the  next  pair  is  (0xc,
     0x14)  and  the  last  (12th)  pair  is  (0x123,  0x13b).	These  pairs are
     (start,end+1) offsets of items in this block. So we have  count+2	integers
     following the count value.

     Note the b5offset of 0x0020, which is a type that I will call an index ref-
     erence.  Such  index  references have at least two different forms, and may
     point to data either in this  block,  or  in  some  other	block.	External
     pointer  references  have	the low order 4 bits all set, and are ID2 values
     that can be used to fetch data. This value of 0x0020 is an internal pointer
     reference, which needs to be right shifted by  4  bits  to  become  0x0002,
     which  is	then a byte offset to be added to the above indexOffset plus two
     (to skip the count), so it points to the (0xc, 0x14) pair.

     So far we have only described internal index references where the high  or-
     der  16  bits  are zero. That suffices for single descriptor blocks. But in
     the case of the type 0x0101 descriptor block, we  have  an  array	of  sub-
     blocks. In this case, the high order 16 bits of an internal index reference
     are  used to select the subblock. Each subblock starts with a 16 bit index-
     Offset which points to the count and array of 16 bit  integer  pairs  which
     are offsets in the current subblock.

     Finally,  we  have  the offset and size of the "b5" block located at offset
     0xc with a size of 8 bytes in this descriptor block. The "b5" block has the
     following format:

	 0000  signature       [2 bytes] 0x02b5     constant
	 0002  datasize        [2 bytes] 0x0006     constant +2 for 8 byte entries
	 0004  descoffset      [4 bytes] 0x0040     index reference

     Note the descoffset of 0x0040, which again is an index reference.	In  this
     case,  it is an internal pointer reference, which needs to be right shifted
     by 4 bits to become 0x0004, which is then a byte offset to be added to  the
     above  indexOffset plus two (to skip the count), so it points to the (0x14,
     0x7c) pair. The datasize (6) plus the b5 code (02) gives the  size  of  the
     entries,  in this case 8 bytes. We now have the offset 0x14 of the descrip-
     tor array, composed of 8 byte entries that describe MAPI elements. Each de-
     scriptor entry has the following format:

	 0000  itemType        [2 bytes]
	 0002  referenceType   [2 bytes]
	 0004  value	       [4 bytes]

     For some reference types (2, 3, 0xb) the value is used directly. Otherwise,
     the value is an index reference, which is either an ID2 value, or	an  off-
     set,  to be right shifted by 4 bits and used to fetch a pair from the index
     table to find the offset and size of the item in this descriptor block.

     The following reference types are known, but not all of  these  are  imple-
     mented in the code yet.

	 0x0002 - Signed 16bit value
	 0x0003 - Signed 32bit value
	 0x0004 - 4-byte floating point
	 0x0005 - Floating point double
	 0x0006 - Signed 64-bit int
	 0x0007 - Application Time
	 0x000A - 32-bit error value
	 0x000B - Boolean (non-zero = true)
	 0x000D - Embedded Object
	 0x0014 - 8-byte signed integer (64-bit)
	 0x001E - Null terminated String
	 0x001F - Unicode string
	 0x0040 - Systime - Filetime structure
	 0x0048 - OLE Guid
	 0x0102 - Binary data
	 0x1003 - Array of 32bit values
	 0x1014 - Array of 64bit values
	 0x101E - Array of Strings
	 0x1102 - Array of Binary data

     The following item types are known, but not all of these are implemented in
     the code yet.

	 0000  indexOffset     [2 bytes] 0x017a     in this case
	 0002  signature       [2 bytes] 0x7cec     constant
	 0004  7coffset        [4 bytes] 0x0040     index reference

     Note the signature of 0x7cec. There are other descriptor block formats with
     other signatures. Note the indexOffset of 0x017a - starting at  that  posi-
     tion  in  the  descriptor block, we have an array of two byte integers. The
     first integer (0x0006) is a (count-1) of the number  of  overlapping  pairs
     following	the  count.  The  first pair is (0, 0xc), the next pair is (0xc,
     0x14)  and  the  last  (7th)  pair  is  (0x160,  0x179).  These  pairs  are
     (start,end+1)  offsets  of items in this block. So we have count+2 integers
     following the count value.

     Note the 7coffset of 0x0040, which is an index reference. In this case,  it
     is an internal reference pointer, which needs to be right shifted by 4 bits
     to  become 0x0004, which is then a byte offset to be added to the above in-
     dexOffset plus two (to skip the count), so it points to  the  (0x14,  0xea)
     pair.  We have the offset and size of the "7c" block located at offset 0x14
     with a size of 214 bytes in this case. The "7c" block starts with a  header
     with the following format:

	 0000  signature       [1 bytes] 0x7c	    constant
	 0001  itemCount       [1 bytes] 0x18	    in this case
	 0002  unknown	       [2 bytes] 0x0060     in this case
	 0004  unknown	       [2 bytes] 0x0060     in this case
	 0006  unknown	       [2 bytes] 0x0062     in this case
	 0008  recordSize      [2 bytes] 0x0065     in this case
	 000a  b5Offset        [4 bytes] 0x0020     index reference
	 000e  index2Offset    [4 bytes] 0x0080     index reference
	 0012  unknown	       [2 bytes] 0x0000     in this case
	 0014  unknown	       [2 bytes] 0x0000     in this case

     Note  the b5Offset of 0x0020, which is an index reference. In this case, it
     is an internal reference pointer, which needs to be right shifted by 4 bits
     to become 0x0002, which is then a byte offset to be added to the above  in-
     dexOffset	plus  two  (to	skip the count), so it points to the (0xc, 0x14)
     pair. Finally, we have the offset and size of the	"b5"  block  located  at
     offset  0xc with a size of 8 bytes in this descriptor block. The "b5" block
     has the following format:

	 0000  signature       [2 bytes] 0x04b5     constant
	 0002  datasize        [2 bytes] 0x0002     +4 for 6 byte entries in this case
	 0004  descoffset      [4 bytes] 0x0060     index reference

     Note the descoffset of 0x0060, which again is an index reference.	In  this
     case,  it is an internal pointer reference, which needs to be right shifted
     by 4 bits to become 0x0006, which is then a byte offset to be added to  the
     above  indexOffset plus two (to skip the count), so it points to the (0xea,
     0xf0) pair. The datasize (2) plus the b5 code (04) gives the  size  of  the
     entries,  in  this  case  6 bytes. We now have the offset 0xea of an unused
     block of data in an unknown format, composed of 6 byte entries. That  gives
     us (0xf0 - 0xea)/6 = 1, so we have a recordCount of one.

     We  have  seen  cases where the descoffset in the b5 block is zero, and the
     index2Offset in the 7c block is zero. This has been seen for  objects  that
     seem  to be attachments on messages that have been read. Before the message
     was read, it did not have any attachments.

     Note the index2Offset above of 0x0080, which again is an  index  reference.
     In  this case, it is an internal pointer reference, which needs to be right
     shifted by 4 bits to become 0x0008, which is then a byte offset to be added
     to the above indexOffset plus two (to skip the count), so it points to  the
     (0xf0,  0x155)  pair.  This is an array of tables of four byte integers. We
     will call these the IND2 tables. The size of each of these tables is speci-
     fied by the recordSize field of the "7c" header. The number of these tables
     is the above recordCount value derived from the "b5" block.

     Now the remaining data in the "7c" block after the header starts at  offset
     0x2a.  There should be itemCount 8 byte items here, with the following for-
     mat:

	 0000  referenceType   [2 bytes]
	 0002  itemType        [2 bytes]
	 0004  ind2Offset      [2 bytes]
	 0006  size	       [1 byte]
	 0007  unknown	       [1 byte]

     The ind2Offset is a byte offset into the current IND2 table of some  value.
     If  that is a four byte integer value, then once we fetch that, we have the
     same triple (item type, reference type, value) as we  find  in  the  0xbcec
     style  descriptor blocks. If not, then this value is used directly. These 8
     byte descriptors are processed recordCount times, each time using the  next
     IND2  table.  The	item  and reference types are as described above for the
     0xbcec format descriptor block.

32 BIT ASSOCIATED DESCRIPTOR ITEM 0X0101
     This descriptor block contains a list of I_ID values. It is  used	when  an
     I_ID  (that  would  normally  point  to  a type 0x7cec or 0xbcec descriptor
     block) contains more data than can fit in any single  descriptor  of  those
     types.  In  this  case,  it points to a type 0x0101 block, which contains a
     list of I_ID values that themselves point to the actual descriptor  blocks.
     The  total  length  value in the 0x0101 header is the sum of the lengths of
     the blocks pointed to by the list of I_ID values. The result is an array of
     subblocks, that may contain index references where the high order	16  bits
     specify  which  descriptor  subblock to use. Only the first descriptor sub-
     block contains the signature (0xbcec or 0x7cec).

     version described above.
