Parse .msg file using C#

Question

I need to parse Outlook .msg files. How do I do it? Are there any classes?

I found http://www.aspose.com/purchase/pricing-info-step-1-of-3.aspx

Aspose it is a third party tool, which I need to purchase.

Is there any other way without purchasing?

Solution 1

1. In the Outlook Object Model, use Application.Session.OpenSharedItem (will return MalItem).
   
2. If using Redemption is an option, use its RDOSession.GetMessageFromMsgFile method.
