MAPI setProps(): "PT_CLSID" property fails with (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)

Question

We are trying to set "PT_CLSID" property of a mail using MAPI setProps() API, where we are sending the property in below format : 0x81460048 : '{\xa4\xa6\xcd|\x86\xcaG\xbd9\xb5\x01&e-\xb3'

API is throwing an exception (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None).

Below is the query:

• Please help us understand the use and importance of "PT_CLSID".
• Is it still currently in use or deprecated ?
• Is there a particular format of the value of the property in which setProps() needs to be called.

Thanks in Advance.
