What is the maximum allowable length of the FilePath param of the Message.SaveMessage method supposed to be? I am having problems saving messages to file when the path is longer than 258 chars.

Maximum length of a file path allowed by WinAPI functions is MAX_PATH=260 chars (including null terminator). You cannot use longer file paths.

What about using the Unicode versions of the WinAPI functions? These will let you use paths up to 32000+ chars.

MailBee Objects cannot rely on Unicode functions since they are not fully supported in Win9X.

I believe this could be overcome by detecting what version of Windows you're running on, and using the the appropriate function.

In theory, long paths are supported by WinAPI. However, in real world situations, long paths do not work in the most cases. For example, .NET framework itself does not support long paths even on WinNT/2000/XP/etc. Since we have to retain compatibility with .NET, we will not add any features which cannot be supported by upcoming native .NET versions of MailBee.
