EWS save/export EmailMessage in other format

I'm working with the EWS Managed API 2.0. At this moment I can save EmailMessages to my harddrive as *.eml files. However I can't open them correctly to show the content.

How can an EmailMessage (.eml) be saved as an .html, .doc or .txt file directly?

Solution

  • Use following code if you want to save it as .eml

    message.Load(new PropertySet(ItemSchema.MimeContent));
MimeContent mimcon = message.MimeContent;
FileStream fStream = new FileStream("c:\test.eml", FileMode.Create);
fStream.Write(mimcon.Content, 0, mimcon.Content.Length);
fStream.Close();

    For msg file look at following link:
