Hi.

The current version of Aspose.Email has a problem mit email date.
MailMessage.Date ist the UTC time instead of Local time when I load mail from msg-file.

In the old version 6.5 of Aspose.Email it shows the corret Local time.
I need a solution for our customer. How can this be resolved?

Tanks

Hi,
You can reproduce the bug with this code.
Save a email from outlook as msg file and load in MailMessag, then you see the date ist UTC time.
With the version 6.5 you get local time. Our customers have a lot of isssues with our new version and we need a solution ASAP.

var msg = Aspose.Email.MailMessage.Load(msgFilename);
var date = msg.Date;

Thanks
Zhentao

@zhentaosong,

I have observed your requirements and like to share that in latest versions we have deliberately changed the date to UTC. You need to convert that to your local time using following:

var date = msg.Date.ToLocalTime();

Hi @mudassir.fayyaz, Thank you.
I have a requirement where we need to Convert email to PDF.
here we are using Aspose.mail to convert email to
Dim msg As Aspose.Email.MailMessage = Aspose.Email.MailMessage.Load(Request.Files(0).InputStream, New MsgLoadOptions())
The Date is showing in UTC.
I tried to use the below code
msg.Date=msg.Date.ToLocalTime()
But in PDF converted date is still showing in UTC.

Please advise.
