We have just published version 1.7.0 of Aspose.Email for .NET and Java. This month’s release provides support for the creation of TNEF message files, setting Appointment’s time zone information from an instance of System.TimeZoneInfo and detect Outlook message type using the MapiMessage class.

An important enhancement has been made so that the MHTML renderer includes the embedded images as well as the email header in the output. We have also fixed some issues regarding embedded images, encoding, attachments for EML to MSG conversion.

Read the release notes to get a full list of the new enhancements and fixes included in Aspose.Email for .NET 1.7.0 and Aspose.Email for Java v1.7.0.

We have just released Aspose.Email for .NET 1.6. In this version we have introduced the EnumerateMessageObjects and EnumerateMapiMessages methods to the FolderInfo class to improve the PST reading performance. These methods allow you to quickly iterate over the messages present in any PST folder and significantly reduce the execution time for such processes. With this release you can also add time zone information with an appointment request and save any message to OFT file format.

Please visit the following link for further details on what’s new and fixed in Aspose.Email for .NET 1.6.0.

We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Email for Java 1.5.0. This month’s release provides a brand new save format: you can now export any message loaded into Aspose.Email to EMLX. This release also provides the functionality to manipulate IMP.Tasks type contents through MapiTask class. Last but not the least, Aspose.Email for Java 1.5.0 now provides a choice to the user in order to load a PST file. A new overload of the PersonalStorage.fromFile method lets you open a PST in writeable or read-only modes.

Create, Update and Delete Outlook Tasks

The most exciting feature from this release is to manipulate tasks on an Exchange Server. For this purpose we have added a new class called ExchangeTask and some new methods to the ExchangeWebServiceClient class that enables you to create, delete and update tasks on the Exchange Server.

The code segment below shows how to create a task.

ExchangeWebServiceClient client = new ExchangeWebServiceClient(host, credentials);
ExchangeTask task = new ExchangeTask();
task.Subject = "New-Test";
task.Status = ExchangeTaskStatus.InProgress;
client.CreateTask(client.MailboxInfo.TasksUri, task);

You can also update an existing tasks by using the UpdateTask method exposed by the ExchangeWebServiceClient class. The sample code below shows how to use the UpdateTask method.

ExchangeMessageInfoCollection tasks = client.ListMessages(client.MailboxInfo.TasksUri);
foreach (ExchangeMessageInfo info in tasks)
{
     ExchangeTask task = client.FetchTask(info.UniqueUri);
     task.Status = ExchangeTaskStatus.NotStarted;
     task.DueDate = new DateTime(2012, 9, 26);
     task.Priority = MailPriority.Low;
     client.UpdateTask(task);
}

To delete a task, use the DeleteTask method exposed by the ExchangeWebServiceClient class and pass the task’s unique URI, along with an appropriate value from the DeleteTasksOptions enumerator.

ExchangeMessageInfoCollection tasks = client.ListMessages(client.MailboxInfo.TasksUri);
foreach (ExchangeMessageInfo info in tasks)
{
    ExchangeTask task = client.FetchTask(info.UniqueUri);
    if (task.Subject.Equals("test"))
    {
        client.DeleteTask(task.UniqueUri, DeleteTaskOptions.DeletePermanently);
    }
}

Aspose.Email for Java 1.4.0 has been released. This release includes the latest improvements made to the Aspose.Email for Java component.

An attractive feature of Aspose.Email is the ability to validate EML. The MailMessage class has exposed a new static method, ValidateMessage, that accepts an EML file through a file path or as a stream and returns an object of EmlValidationErrorCollection. If the returned collection is empty then no validation problems have been detected. Else, you may parse the collection to retrieve EmlValidationError objects. You can also inspect the cause of validation failure by using EmlValidationError class members like getErrorMessage(), getErrorType() and getLineNumber().

To download the release, please visit the download area.

As usual, we can answer any questions you have in the product forum.

Enjoy!

The Print() method takes an instance of the MailMessage class as an argument, so you can convert EML, MSG or MHT files. This sample code shows how to print an email:

// Initialize the MailPrinter class
var msgPrinter = new Aspose.Email.Printing.MailPrinter();
// Load an email message
MailMessage msg = MailMessage.Load("attached and embedded image.msg", MessageFormat.Msg);
// Call Print() method
msgPrinter.Print(msg, "test.tiff", Aspose.Email.Printing.PrintFormat.Tiff);

Aspose.Email for .NET 1.3 also contains other new features and bug fixes. For a complete list and the download, please visit http://www.aspose.com/community/files/51/.net-components/aspose.email-for-.net/default.aspx.

We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Email for .NET 1.2. In this version, we have added support for printing email messages to XPS format using the MailPrinter class. The Print() method takes an instance of the MailMessage class as an argument, so you can print EML, MSG or MHT files. This sample code shows how to print an email:

// Initialize the MailPrinter class
MailPrinter msgPrinter = new MailPrinter();
// Load an email message
MailMessage msg = MailMessage.Load("attached and embedded image.msg", MessageFormat.Msg);
// Call Print() method
msgPrinter.Print(msg, "test.xps", PrintFormat.XPS);

Aspose.Email for .NET 1.2 also contains some other new features and bug fixes. For a complete list and the download, please visit http://www.aspose.com/community/files/51/.net-components/aspose.email-for-.net/default.aspx.

We have just released Aspose.Email for Java 1.1. In this version we introduced a new class: MessageObject. It allows you to manipulate the properties of an MSG file in a simplistic manner. We hope it becomes useful to our customers and evolves further to replace the MapiMessage class.

For release notes and download, please visit http://www.aspose.com/community/files/72/java-components/aspose.email-for-java/default.aspx.

• Aspose.Network for Java will be renamed Aspose.Email for Java.
• Aspose.Network for SharePoint will be renamed Aspose.Email for SharePoint.
• Aspose.Network for .NET has been split into two products: Aspose.Email for .NET contains email programming features and Aspose.Network for .NET retains the network programming features. There are relatively few networking classes so Aspose.Network for .NET will become a utility. Aspose.Email for .NET is available for download now.

Why change?

Aspose.Network helped developers program network functionality and manage email. Since its release in 2005, the email features have become increasingly popular and it is these that our customers use Aspose.Network for. We are changing the product to reflect the way it is used and the future development focus for it.

The change makes it easier for existing  and new customers to understand and use the Aspose.Email.

Introducing Aspose.Email

Aspose.Email for .NET and Aspose.Email for Java support most major email protocols and contain many utility classes to facilitate common development tasks and makes it easy to work with Microsoft Outlook PST, EML, MSG and MHT files.

Aspose.Email for SharePoint provides email document conversion and synchronization features for files or emails within the Microsoft SharePoint document library or custom lists of emails.

The utility Aspose.Network for .NET enables programmers of ASP .NET web applications, web services and Windows applications to concentrate on their business logic by hiding the complexities of network programming.

Email management

Aspose.Email allows developers to read and create emails in EML and MSG formats, and convert messages from one format to the other. It includes calendar features, allows you to send and receive emails, manage attachments and HTML formatting, load PST files and get message information. It supports Microsoft outlook but doesn’t require you to work with Outlook when programming.

Aspose.Email’s features vary from platform to platform. For a complete list of features and benefits, go to the product pages.

Edit [14th February, 2012]: Aspose.Email for Java is ported automatically from Aspose.Email for .NET using a magical code porting tool which is now also available to everyone on http://codeporting.com/ as a Cloud App. Feel free to give it a try.
