how to save mail form outlook with attachments?
13,482
What are you using as a filename? does it end with .msg?
I do something like this and it works as you describe you want it too:
Outlook.MailItem msg;
foreach (object obj in f.Mapi.Items)
{
try
{
msg = obj as Outlook.MailItem;
// ... set file name using message attributes
// string fullPath = "something" + ".msg"
msg.SaveAs(fullPath, Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olMSG);
}
}
The reason I'm so curious in your case is that I am wondering how I can reproduce what you are doing: saving the mail item with out saving the attachments?

I wanted to save Outlook mails in to msg format along with the attachment through C#.
I tried the following code
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Outlook.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); Outlook.NameSpace ns = app.GetNamespace("MAPI"); Outlook.MAPIFolder inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox); foreach (Outlook.MailItem item in inbox.Items) { item.SaveAs(finename, Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olMSG); } }
It could save the mail as msg but the attachment part was removed. SaveAs method had no other overloads alos... :(
If i try to save a message from outlook it saves the message along with the attachment embedded in it. Any idea how this can be achieved..?
I am using .Net Framework 3.5 and Outolook 2007
