Hi,
I'm about to buy a components to help our program extracting data from .eml and .msg files, I would like to ensure few things before buying.
There's no need for us to connect to a mail server, we simply receive message files on the file system
1. Does MailBee.Net provides a convenient API to extract meetings/outlook task/contacts from a mail message?
2. Does converting .eml to .msg is a straightforward process? We receive many .eml files that might be originated in different mail clients, I'm not sure if the conversion success is 100% or there might be many exceptions (like different formatting and encoding).

Thanks for your help.

Once the attachment is extracted, you can use ICalVCard component to process it. The component is a free addon to MailBee.NET Objects, and it provides extensive API indeed.

Pretty much yes. Unlike MSG-to-EML, this one deals with a standard MIME document. The only potential pitfall I can think of is Unicode, and if you'd like the resulting MSG to be Unicode-encoded, make sure set MsgConvert.MsgAsUnicode to True; it's going to be 8-bit one otherwise. True is a default value here, though.

MailBee.NET Objects is available for full-featured trial, and we strongly recommend to run evaluation before purchasing a license.

Keep in mind that this is a community forum, questions addressed to AfterLogic directly should be posted in HelpDesk instead.
