Save mail to msg file using EWS API

Question

I'm using Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.1 to connect to Exchange server 2010 and then find out new emails received. Now I want to save a copy of the .msg file to a folder on the disk.

I do not want to use any paid third party to integrate.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

If eml format is an option and php is the language use base64_decode on the Mimencontent before save on file.

If using https://github.com/Heartspring/Exchange-Web-Services-for-PHP or https://github.com/hatsuseno/Exchange-Web-Services-for-PHP need to add

 $newmessage->mc = $messageobj->MimeContent->_;

on line 245 or 247.

Answer 2

This is how I solved the problem to download from EWS the email message in .eml format via vbs code

' This is the function that retrieves the message:
function CreaMailMsg(ItemId,ChangeKey)
Dim MailMsg
Dim GetItemSOAP,GetItemResponse,Content

    LogFile.WriteLine (Now() & "-" & ":CreaMailMsg:ID:" & ItemId)
    GetItemSOAP=ReadTemplate("GetItemMsg.xml")
    GetItemSOAP=Replace(GetItemSOAP, "<!--ITEMID-->", ItemId)   
    GetItemSOAP=Replace(GetItemSOAP, "<!--ITEMCHANGEKEY-->", ChangeKey)
    LogFile.WriteLine (Now() & ":GetItemSOAP:" & GetItemSOAP) 

    set GetItemResponse=SendSOAP(GetItemSOAP,TARGETURL,"",USERNAME,PASSWORD)
    ' Check we got a Success response
    if not IsResponseSuccess(GetItemResponse, "m:GetItemResponseMessage","ResponseClass") then
        LogFile.WriteLine (Now() & "-" & ":ERRORE:Fallita GetItemMsg:" & GetItemResponse.xml)
        Chiusura 1
    end if

'   LogFile.WriteLine (Now() & "-" & ":DEBUG:riuscita GetItemMsg:" & GetItemResponse.xml)
    Content = GetItemResponse.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("t:MimeContent").Item(0).Text
'   LogFile.WriteLine (Now() & ":Contenuto MIME" & Content)

    CreaMailMsg = WriteAttach2File(Content,"OriginaryMsg.eml")

'   MailMsg.close
    CreaMailMsg = true
end function
'###########################################################################
' These are the functions the save the message in .eml format
'###########################################################################
function WriteAttach2File(Content,nomeAttach)
Dim oNode,oXML,Base64Decode
    ' Read the contents Base64 encoded and Write a file  
    set oXML=CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
    set oNode=oXML.CreateElement("base64")
    oNode.DataType="bin.base64"
    oNode.Text = Content
    Base64Decode = Stream_Binary2String(oNode.nodeTypedValue,nomeAttach)
    Set oNode = Nothing
    Set oXML = Nothing
end function
'###########################################################################
function Stream_Binary2String(binary,nomeAttach)
    Const adTypeText = 2
    Const adTypeBinary = 1
    Dim BinaryStream

    Set BinaryStream=CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
    BinaryStream.Type=adTypeBinary' Binary
    BinaryStream.Open
    BinaryStream.Write binary   
    BinaryStream.Position=0
    BinaryStream.Type=adTypeText
    BinaryStream.CharSet = "us-ascii"
    Stream_Binary2String=BinaryStream.ReadText
    'msgbox Stream_Binary2String
    BinaryStream.SaveToFile ShareName & "\" & nomeAttach,2

    Set BinaryStream=Nothing
end function
