Hi,

I'm writing a converter to dump emails out of Outlook and import them into my own app (in .eml format).

After getting the MSG files out of outlook, here's my code :-

Code:

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

foreach (string msg_file in msg_files)
{
  string eml_file = Path.ChangeExtension(msg_file, ".eml");
  MailBee.OutlookMsg.MsgConvert.MsgToEml(msg_file, eml_file);

  msg.LoadMessage(eml_file);

  string to_addr = "";
  string to_name = "";

  foreach (EmailAddress add in msg.To)
  {
    to_addr += add.Email + "; ";
    to_name += add.AsString + "; ";
  }
  to_addr = to_addr.TrimEnd(new char[] { ';', ' ' });
  to_name = to_name.TrimEnd(new char[] { ';', ' ' });

  Console.WriteLine(to_addr);
  Console.WriteLine(to_name);
}

The problem is that "to_addr" is always identical to "to_name", because "To.Email" doesn't contain the email address, but rather the DisplayName.

Is this a bug in the converter? If not, then how am I supposed to get the TO email address?

The From email address works fine BTW - the problem is just with To (haven't tested CC).

Thanks.

But prior to that, I highly recommend to make sure you're using the latest version of MailBee.NET.dll:

.NET 1.1 and above
.NET 2.0 and above

As requested, I have just uploaded a sample .MSG file for you. I downloaded the latest "mailbee_net_2.zip" only a couple of days ago.

The .MSG has the following properties :-

To.Name = Hedley Muscroft [Pioneer Software]
To.Email = *****@pioneersoftware.co.uk

After converting it to EML, the EML file contains the following data :-

To.Name = Hedley Muscroft [Pioneer Software]
To.Email = Hedley Muscroft [Pioneer Software]

Look forward to your help!

Thanks. However, the issue is not reproduced with the following code used:
Code:
MsgConvert.MsgToEml(@"D:\1.msg", @"D:\1.eml");
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.LoadMessage(@"D:\1.eml");
foreach (EmailAddress adr in msg.To)
  {
  Console.WriteLine(adr.Email);
  Console.WriteLine(adr.DisplayName);
  }
Console.ReadLine();

and the output is:
Code:
*****@pioneersoftware.co.uk
Hedley Muscroft [Pioneer Software]


DLL version used is 5.8.2.186.

For privacy reasons, I have removed email username from all the posts in this thread.

I have copied your code and created my own test app (sent to you separately via your Helpdesk system) and I also sent you the .EML which is being created.

I am using MailBee.NET.dll version 5.8.2.186

Unfortunately the problem persists - and you can see from the EML file that the TO address is not being included.

I'm using VS2008 (SP1) on Windows 7 x64.

Look forward to your help!

OK, I've prepared a complete test application which clearly shows the problem and I sent the test app over to you via your helpdesk system.

To test this myself, I copied the test apps onto a different non-development PC (running Win XP x64), which means that the ONLY MailBee.NET.dll file on that computer is the one in the same folder as the test executable (which I checked is 5.8.2.186).

The program clearly demonstrates that Msg.To[x].Email always equals Msg.To[x].DisplayName in EMLs which are converted from MSG files.

Please can you have a look and get back to me on this as soon as possible?

Look forward to hearing from you shortly - thanks!

After further testing, it turns out that this problem is unqiue to 64 bit editions of Windows.

I've tested it on several machines and it always works fine on a 32 bit Windows machine, but fails on Windows XP x64, Vista x64 or Windows 7 x64.

Hopefully the developers can fix this as soon as possible!
