ImapMessageInfo.Date is offset

Aspose.Email Product Family
1
Hi,

I've written a little tool that uses Aspose.Email to parse a Gmail inbox and process all messages.

I noticed the Date property of the ImapMessageInfo is always off by 2 hours. When I open the mail header (see below) it shows "09:18:07 +0200", but when I run it through the tool, the Date comes as "07:18".

I understand this is related to the +0200. It's as if the ImapMessageInfo reverts the +02 to the original GMT-time?

Since the email could come from a different timezone, I can't just add 2 hours and be done with it. How can I access the exact date as it appears in the email header?

Kind regards,
Jeroen Vantroyen

The original header :

Hi Jeroen,

Thank you for writing to Aspose support team.

The Date property of ImapMessageInfo shows the time in GMT and the Timezone offset is not available in the ImapMessageInfo. The TimeZone offset resides in the MailMessage’s TimeZoneOffset that is available once the message is fetched, which can then be used to determine the message time.

Code Used:




using (ImapClient imap = GetAsposeImapClient())


{


imap.SelectFolder(“INBOX”);



      var infos = imap.ListMessages();



      Console.WriteLine("Total Messages: " + infos.Count);



      foreach (var info in infos)


{


Console.WriteLine(info.Date + ", " + info.InternalDate);


using (var message = imap.FetchMessage(info.UniqueId))


{


Console.WriteLine(message.Date + message.TimeZoneOffset);


}



            break;


}



      imap.Disconnect();


}




            


            

              
              
              
            


            

                
                
              


          

          

            

              

              


              
                  
                  
              3
              
            

            

              
I didn’t need the actual message, so I didn’t look far enough for my date.
Thanks for the quick response!
