'GetProps returns less length for PR_ENTRYID

Trying to retrieve the PR_ENTRYID of a contact using GetProps function from a PST. It's returns 24 length, but when I checked in Outlooksky for same property it shows length as 70. Any idea why GetProp is returning less length?



Solution 1:[1]

70 bytes: if you import pst (import/export option in outlook) into the same folder that your,i.e., personal email

24 bytes: if you open pst as open outlook data file instead of import/export.

Solution 2:[2]

Firstly, multiple entry ids can refer to the same object (e.g. long term vs short term entry ids).

24 bytes sounds like a PST entry id for a message or a folder. Where in OutlookSpy do you see PR_ENTRYID of 70 bytes?
