I am currently attempting to create a project that extracts all emails and attachments from a PST to EML w/ the attachments in the directory with it. However, when I use the PSTReader to get the items and change it to a MailMessage via GetAsMailMessage(), there is no reference to the attachments left behind.

The code I use to loop through all items in a PST is

Code:

MailBee.Outlook.PstFolderCollection folderColl = pstReader.GetPstRootFolders(true);

foreach (MailBee.Outlook.PstFolder folder in folderColl)

{

    foreach (MailBee.Outlook.PstItem item in folder.Items)

....

I then call

Code:

item.GetAsMailMessage().Attachments.Count

on the item. This always returns 0, no matter if the item should have attachments or not.

Is this by design? Can you not retrieve an email with attachments via the MailBee Outlook items?

I have a PST available if you wish to see my testing PST.

Thanks in advance.

If it's possible, please provide us with test PST file via HelpDesk.
Please also point us to the email message(s) in question.

One more thing: did you try to save those messages to disk as EML files? Are they saved OK, and maybe that's just a
problem with Attachments.Count itself, while the attachments are fetched fine?
